In
177-530: A Yortsayt . Proficiency in Hebrew pronunciation is preferred. In practice, in synagogues without an official ḥazzan, or in the absence of one, those with the best voice and the greatest knowledge of the prayers typically assume the role. Even in the earliest times the chief qualifications demanded of the hazzan , in addition to knowledge of Biblical and liturgical literature as well as the prayer motifs ( Yiddish : שטײַגער , romanized : shtayger ), were
236-572: A hazzan for a synagogue (and made sure that a kosher butcher was established in the neighborhood) for some time before setting about hiring a rabbi, seeing the hazzan (and the shokhet , or kosher butcher) as a more immediate need. The hazzan therefore solemnized marriages and otherwise represented the congregation in the eyes of civil authorities. In the United States, many hazzanim supplement their ministry by also earning certification as and working as mohels , for bris ceremonies. In

The synagogue stood where the building whose address
354-430: A Jewish court, could not act as hazzan on those days, unless he had previously done penance. However many authorities were lenient in this regard, and as long as a cantor was merutzeh l'kehal , desired by the congregation, he was permitted to lead the prayers even on the holiest of days. Today, a hazzan , particularly in more formal (usually not Orthodox) synagogues, is likely to have academic credentials—most often

The hazzan was required to possess a pleasing appearance, to be married, and to have a flowing beard. Sometimes, according to Isaac ben Moses of Vienna (13th century), a young hazzan having only a slight growth of beard was tolerated. Maimonides ruled that the hazzan who recited the prayers on an ordinary Shabbat and on weekdays need not possess an appearance pleasing to everybody; he might even have

However, the term hazzan more commonly refers to someone who has special training in leading prayers, or who is appointed to lead prayers on a regular basis in a particular synagogue. Jewish law restricts the role of sh'liah tzibbur to adult Jews; in Orthodox Judaism , it is restricted to males. In theory, any layperson can be a sh'liaḥ tzibbur ; many synagogue-attending Jews will serve in this role from time to time, especially on weekdays or during
885-429: A reputation not wholly spotless, provided he was living a life morally free from reproach at the time of his appointment. But all these moderations of the rule disappeared on holidays; then an especially worthy hazzan was demanded, one whose life was absolutely irreproachable, who was generally popular, and who was endowed with an expressive delivery. Even a person who had ever litigated in a non-Jewish court, instead of
944-505: A specialized set of skills and becoming a career in itself. The role of the hazzan as a respected full-time profession has become a reality in recent centuries. In the last two centuries Jews in a number of European communities, notably Germany and Britain, came to view professionally trained hazzanim as clergy and the hazzan as the deputy rabbi. After the enlightenment, when European nations gave full citizenship and civil rights to Jews, professionally trained hazzanim were accepted by
