The Bible and Music

I was pleasantly surprised by having our guest speaker in class. Initially, I was expecting for the speaker to preach to us about Christianity. As someone who does not even believe in any deity, I was worried that I would not enjoy what he had to say. However, Cantor Giora Sharon made his presentation incredibly interesting with so many stories from his time as a cantor and even before. Not only did he discuss the trials and tribulations of being a cantor, but also about his life in Hungary and his eventual immigration to America.

I have so much more respect for the profession now after hearing what he had to say. I am now more informed and can now better understand the material of the class.
