Pesach 5785 with Yitzchok-Boruch Teitelbaum, Moshe Moskovitz

This week's highlights:


We welcome back Rabbi Yitzchok-Boruch
Teitelbaum, known in his Monroe, NY, community as der
Pshischer Rebbe, for Pesach greetings and words of wisdom.

We meet Chazan Dr. Moshe Moskovitz, the High
Holiday cantor at Los Angeles’s Congregation Shaarei Tefila, to
discuss his background, his yiches (he’s the grandson of two
post-war Carpathian cantors), and his journey into chazones (the
musical art of leading Jewish prayer in the Ashkenazi tradition),
as well as Pesach from a cantorial perspective — guiding us
through several cantorial recordings along the way.

Pesach greetings from many of our cohosts, friends and
sponsors, as follows:
