Dear Friends

I thought some of you will be interested in attending the ECA 14th Cantors Convention, to be held in Budapest from Wednesday 2 November (12:00) – to Monday 7 November (13:00) Celebrating the 150th anniversary of the Rumbach synagogue.

This feast of the very best in the music of Jewish prayer is open to everybody – not just cantors.

For the first time since lockdown, those who love the music of Jewish prayer will be singing, sharing and praying together in one of the most beautiful synagogues in Europe.  From 2 to 7 November the recently refurbished Rumbach Synagogue Budapest (celebrating its 150th anniversary) will reverberate with the voices of cantors from America, Israel, Europe, and the UK. Parts of the convention will take place also at the Dohany Street synagogue complex and the Budapest Jewish Museum.

Presentations and panel sessions will address whether nusach is still relevant and how to teach it today. There will be discussions on ‘What makes a ruach in your synagogue?’ as well as what lockdown has taught us. Participants will get practical feedback in masterclasses. Each day will see daytime and evening concerts. And there will be a tour of Jewish Budapest on Monday morning.
