Hazzan Daniel Eli Friedman
Since the year 2000 I have dedicated my life to the Cantorial Arts and utilizing my unique skill sets attained while working as a professional actor, singer, director, and producer to enhance the lives of those congregants to whom I serve using music, teaching, and creating innovative “prayer experiences.”
As a masters graduate of the Academy for Jewish Religion in California I am deeply respectful of nusach b’tefillah. I strive to balance the over 2,000-year-old grand tradition of the Hazzan with that of a hazzon (visionary) toward inspirational davening utilizing traditional modes and motifs while introducing contemporary melodies.
I enjoy creating unique prayer experiences steeped in tradition yet forward thinking to inspire cross-generational participation. My passion lies in engaging and building a sense of community, teaching davening, Mussar, Torah chanting and transmitting the joy I feel everyday living a “Jewish life.”
