Women and the Chazzanut with Cantor Cooper
- Date: Thursday, November 7, 2024
- Time: 7:00pm–8:30pm
An encore presentation! From Miriam to Barbara Ostfeld, we will trace the path that Jewish women took to get to the bimah in this course. We will explore the environment that allowed women to finally have their voices heard including the influence of Yiddish theater and vaudeville. Finally, we will learn about the chazantes, women who sang chazzanut, forbidden cantorial music, further opening the door for women to enter the cantorate.
