Rare footage of Cantor Pierre (Pinchas) Pinchik leading the Mussaf prayer. Live Shavuot synagogue recording accompanied by choir . Due to the sanctity of the holiday there is no music on this recording
No one, no one, before, then, or since has been able to touch him. Reb Yosele Rosenblatt was an angel sent from Heaven's fire to touch us. I believe he was among the greatest singers ever.
O Jerusalem, The JEWISH SOUL shall NEVER FORGET THEE!INCREDIBLE footage and great piece! JUST CELEBRATED CHATAN TORAH@ the EPI CENTER of the UNIVERSE! The Nation of ISRAEL LIVES(and is the APPLE of HASHEM's EYES)!

@guywalker29 I didn't know there was more than one Shaarei Zedek. I believe it was near what is now Lincoln Center. Sadly, anyone in the family who could say for sure is no longer alive.
@nigunman The selection begins "Umiphei hataeinu galinu me-artzeinu v'nitrahaknu me-al adamteinu" (Because of our sins we were exiled from our land and taken far from our soil). The repetition of words is part of that cantorial style. Personally, i don't like it.
The movie was called Dream of My People 1934. Go to the brandeis website, search for Dream of My People - you will easily find it. Add 3 w's before brandeis then period then edu. They have a vast treasure of Jewish and Yiddish films.
@oberkantor1 Because their congregations won't let them. If they did it once they would not get a second chance to return. They are all dummied down intentionally by the rabbis.
giving me inspiration as i type. I adore this singing, and Hershman was a wonderful proponent of the Chazzanut style. I hope this way of singing doesn't die - it deserves to be heard for all the ages.
This is absolutely Roitman. He started off with a beard in Europe and after he came to the US, he gradually shaved it off. Eventually he had just a mustache and then shaved in entirely. Either way - just have a listen. He doesn't have the lightness and beauty that Hershman had. He has the famous Roitman mezzo falsetto and 'heartzig' (soulful) expression that Hershman never had.
hermansegal, I don't think you have to be observant "to understand the secret of Shabbos" as long as the family/background/city you come from was observant. Just as you may understand, for example, that adultery is wrong but still cannot overcome the temptation... The warmth, heart and soul that you feel in Pinchik's pieces are almost certainly because of his background. I have never heard a gentile sing that touching and hearty that you feel as if a knife went through your heart.
It is most probably Shaarei Zedek synagogue in Manhattan, where he spent most of his US career. In Europe, he lived mostly in Russia. He had cantorial positions in many cities, including St. Petersburg, although the last year or two before coming to America he was in Romania (actually, Bessorabia I believe).
This is here in NYC Cong. Sharei Tzadek and here is the bio so you get the picture ... Roitman was born to Mordecai and Mariom Roitman on November 1, 1884 at the Jusefpol village in the Russian province of Podolia. At the age of 12, he became the choral assistant to a cantor at the nearby town Lidvinke. He was then apprenticed to a series of cantors starting with Yankel Sorover and including Zeidel Rovner. Roitman would remain with Rovner throughout his teenage years. He studied music at Yeshiva College and continued his studies as a post-graduate at the Leningrad Conservatory. Roitman worked as a cantor for five years at the Jewish Temple of Elisavetgrad, starting in 1904. From 1909 to 1912, he worked as cantor at Vilna. He became the chief cantor at the Ginsbourgh Synagogue in Leningrad starting in 1912, until the October Revolution of 1917 destroyed that congregation. During a 1918 pogrom, Roitman fled from Elisavetgrad to Odessa and there organized the Hebrew Music School, which the government would soon dissolve. Roitman lived in Kishinev, Moldova around the year 1920, making concert tours throughout Romania. Roitman emigrated to the United States in 1921 and spent two years with the Congregation Ohev Shalom in Brooklyn. In 1924 he joined the Congregation Shaare Zedek in Manhattan, with which he would officiate until his death. During this time, he made concert tours in Europe and South America. After a long illness, Roitman died in New York City on April 4, 1943
Amazing truly worth thinking about traveling to israel ASAP you never know when your time is up. He went by boat and sang that song and died a few days later wow truly Vihachay Yiten El Libo!!!!!
Really great singer.
he is just the original beautiful video 🇮🇱💯✡️
Reworked from recording by Josef Shlisky (1894-1955)
It's hard to imagine how such a seemingly healthy person left us at that time.
The one and only famous Cantor Mordechai Hershman OBM Greatest legendary of Cantorial Art!
Benjamin Muller is a gem. Mirella S.
One in a million!!!!
He reminds me of Rosenblatt if Rosenblatt had more modern recording equipment
What a chazan completely natural and beautiful!!!!!!
would be so great if he would just had a siddur in is hands!
No one, no one, before, then, or since has been able to touch him. Reb Yosele Rosenblatt was an angel sent from Heaven's fire to touch us. I believe he was among the greatest singers ever.
What a beautiful song. It brings tears to my eyes. I am not even jewish.
It was his last words

@NYtoKS Which Shaarei Zedek in Manhattan? Where in Manhattan?
what a great voice, it's like you are contemplating those holy lands
Ohhhh... Where are the days, when a Chazzan was a real Chazzan...
I adore his version of Misratze B'Rachamim is that on here ? Mazel and Brocha to all.

This sounds bad from people like you. Intolerant like a nazi

Reb Yossele z'l was the king of hazonus
A truly great voice! TY Nate.

He deceased while it was made. Actually he died soon after shooting this very scene... I'm not joking.

Either way - just have a listen. He doesn't have the lightness and beauty that Hershman had. He has the famous Roitman mezzo falsetto and 'heartzig' (soulful) expression that Hershman never had.
Fantastico! I adore this voice, and this technique too.

Amazing truly worth thinking about traveling to israel ASAP you never know when your time is up. He went by boat and sang that song and died a few days later wow truly Vihachay Yiten El Libo!!!!!
