Baruch Dayan HaEmes: Cantor Macy Nulman z"l

«The Yeshiva University Family is saddened by the passing of
CANTOR MACY NULMAN, z'l
Former Director of the Philip and Sarah Belz School of Jewish Music at Yeshiva University, a Founder of the Cantorial Council of America, a pioneer in Cantorial and Jewish music education and author of numerous books and journals on Jewish music and liturgy. »
-------------------
B"H I attended quite a few courses at the Belz school over the years. Cantor Nulman was a consummate professional and helped to raise the Modern Orthodox "cantorate" to a higher level of professionalism. His book "The Encyclopedia of Jewish Liturgy" is a great quick reference guide for us.

While I only chatted with him a few times -- most of his influence on me was indirect -- he, nevertheless, will be missed as a mentor.

To his family, Hamakom Y'nachem ....

Shalom and Regards,
RRW
