Kopmar, comprised 77 young people ranging in age from nine to eighteen. From its inception in 1971 until its disbandment in 2001, the Chorale earned recognition as the foremost synagogue youth choir in the country. It toured extensively throughout the eastern United States and was the first synagogue youth choir ever to perform in Israel, traveling there twice — in 1973, and again in 1977 at the invitation of the Israeli government as a United States representative to the International Festival of Choirs (\u003cem\u003eZimriya\u003c\/em\u003e). The Chorale also gave a series of concerts in England.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerhaps the Chorale's most noteworthy achievement was its record of commissions and premieres. At the time of the premiere of \u003cem\u003eThe Day of Rest\u003c\/em\u003e, it had commissioned and premiered eight major works of Jewish music — a record unmatched by any comparable ensemble. Its role in the development of new music for the synagogue was recognized by the United Synagogue of America with four consecutive Solomon Schechter Awards, symbolic of the most outstanding music program in the American synagogue, including a double honor when it received an award for education, making it the first group to win awards in both music and education.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCantor Jerome B. Kopmar \u003c\/strong\u003e(1936–1996), Musical Director of the Beth Abraham Festival of Jewish Music and founder and director of the Beth Abraham Youth Chorale, served Beth Abraham Synagogue from 1969 until his retirement. A native of Hartford, Connecticut, he received his musical and cantorial training at the Hartt College of Music (University of Hartford), the Cleveland Institute of Music, and the Cantors Institute — Seminary College of Jewish Music of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, where he graduated in 1961. Cantor Kopmar appeared as soloist and conductor throughout the United States, Israel, and England, and was frequently called upon to direct seminars and workshops on the training of young voices. A strong advocate of new music for the synagogue — especially for youth — he commissioned, premiered, and recorded twelve major works of Jewish music. Cantor Kopmar was named an honorary fellow of the Cantors Institute; his biography is listed in \u003cem\u003eWho's Who in Religion\u003c\/em\u003e and in \u003cem\u003eThe International Who's Who in Community Service\u003c\/em\u003e (England).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCantor Moshe Taubé\u003c\/strong\u003e (1927–2020) was born in Cracow, Poland, and after arriving in the United States in 1957 quickly gained a reputation as one of the outstanding cantors in America. Prior to emigrating, he lived in Israel, where he served with the \u003cem\u003eHaganah\u003c\/em\u003e before Israel's independence in 1948 and afterward with the Israeli Defense Forces. Cantor Taubé received his early musical and cantorial training in his native Poland, singing and studying with the leading cantors of Europe. He studied at the conservatory as a young child in Cracow, and after coming to America, he graduated from the Juilliard School of Music in New York City. He toured throughout the world, bringing his art to thousands of listeners. Cantor Taubé served Congregation Beth Sholom in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, from 1965 until his retirement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSholom Kalib\u003c\/strong\u003e (1929–2026) has focused specifically on the Eastern European cantorial and synagogue music tradition — in its American phase as well as in its original forms — championing its rejuvenation and perpetuation through both historical analysis and the creation of new works rooted in its emblematic modes, stylistic idioms, and collective \u003cem\u003emelos\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKalib, whose uncle and grandfather were cantors in the traditional Eastern European mold, was born in Dallas, Texas. His father taught him biblical cantillation and the requisite skills of a \u003cem\u003ebaal t'filla\u003c\/em\u003e (lay precentor), and schooled him in the rudiments of music. His initial exposure to cantorial choral repertoire came when he began singing at age eleven in a local orthodox synagogue choir, soon distinguishing himself as something of a child-prodigy cantor. When his family moved to Chicago in 1942, he joined the choir of Cantor Abraham Kipper (1900–51), a prominent cantor of that city's orthodox community. Highly impressed with the boy's talent, Cantor Kipper engaged Kalib at age fourteen to prepare and conduct his choir for the 1943 High Holiday Service at Chicago's Roumanian Synagogue (\u003cem\u003eRumeinishe shul\u003c\/em\u003e), \u003cem\u003eShaarei Shamayim\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to \u003cem\u003eThe Day of Rest\u003c\/em\u003e, Kalib's larger works include \u003cem\u003eRejoice and Sing\u003c\/em\u003e, a suite of eight Hassidic melodies, and \u003cem\u003eThe Days of Awe\u003c\/em\u003e, a concert setting of High Holy Day liturgy in four sections for cantor, chorus, and orchestra (the individual sections of which may also be performed a cappella for actual synagogue use).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis five-volume historical-analytical work, \u003cem\u003eThe Musical Tradition of the Eastern European Synagogue\u003c\/em\u003e — an encyclopedic discussion and documentation of virtually all aspects of the subject — represents four decades of research and investigation. The first volume was published by Syracuse University Press in 2002; the second in 2005; the first part of the third in 2017; and the second part of the third in 2023. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ayotte Custom Musical Engravings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45794044477549,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0706\/6750\/1677\/files\/PXL_20260819_141058334.jpg?v=1788794177","url":"https:\/\/www.ayottemusic.com\/products\/sholom-kalib-the-day-of-rest-for-cantor-and-ssa-treble-chorus","provider":"Ayotte Custom Musical Engravings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
