Welcoming Shabbat with Lecha Dodi by Hazzan David Feuer of Temple Emanu-El of Palm Beach

Now that Passover is over, we get ready to welcome another Shabbat. We have been in Palm Beach County in Florida since February, and today we're sharing a version of Lecha Dodi by Hazzan David Feuer of Temple Emanu-El of Palm Beach. 

Claudio Waisgluss, the musical director, did the arrangement and provided piano accompaniment with Agustin Conti on Bass and percussion by Tony Verdejo. The author of this version is Meir Finkelstein.

A native of Rosario, Argentina, David Feuer entered his community synagogue chorus at the age of four and started studying piano at eight at the Municipal Conservatory, Santiago, Chile. In Buenos Aires, Hazzan Feuer was Choir Conductor at the largest Orthodox Synagogue in South America and Musical Director of the choir of Agudat Hahazzanim in Argentina.

He founded and was director of the Israeli group “Rinah,” considered the foremost Jewish ensemble in Argentina. For twenty-three years he taught in the Jewish school system where his musical creations became very popular. Hazzan Feuer has been the Cantor and Music Director at Temple Emanu-El since 1986.

Temple Emanu-El has been live streaming their Shabbat services every week, but during the coronavirus crisis they are conducting services via Zoom. We are sharing a link here if you would like to take part in them. 

Shabbat shalom!
