My latest article, on the evolution of chazzanut and singing in shul, is now out in Jewish Action. The topic is very near and dear to me, not least because I often serve as a chazzan myself. I would love any feedback you might have.

Wow! One of your best articles yet. It made good points, flowed nicely, and included some humorous quotes and personal reflections (which are your trademarks). The writing was lovely as well. I learned a new word, numinous, as well as a new use of the word efflorescence (which I normally associate with the cinder blocks in our crawl space).
