The Bible and Music

A hungarian cantor came in and spoke to the class today about his life, Cantor Giora Sharon. He is Jewish, and explained how he is the fourth generation cantor in his family. He talked to us about how being a cantor is more than just singing or knowing the readings, it’s a passionate thing. He knew he was going to be a cantor from the age of 4 and has been one for 47 years. He even went so far as to saw that the profession chose him, which I found to be really cool. This guy is so in tune with his faith and passionate about it that he has spent basically his entire life dedicated to praising and sharing the word of God with other people in synagogues all over the world. Mr. Sharon is what I believe to be a living example  and personification of what this class, The Bible and Music, is.
