A Hazzan is a Jewish cantor, a person who leads the congregation in prayer and song during religious services. They are skilled in chanting traditional Hebrew prayers and often play a key role in enhancing the spiritual atmosphere of the synagogue. The Hazzan's role can vary, but they typically have a deep understanding of Jewish liturgy and music. In addition to leading prayers, a Hazzan may also be involved in teaching and guiding the community in religious practices. They often work closely with the rabbi and may participate in special ceremonies, such as Bar Mitzvahs and weddings, helping to create meaningful experiences for congregants.
