Cantor Aaron Shifman

Cantor Aaron Shifman is originally from Johannesburg, South Africa. A sixth generation Cantor, he trained in the Cantorial Arts under the tutelage of his uncle, Cantor Yehuda Shifman and his father, Cantor Baruch Shifman. Cantor Shifman served for nine years in Florida before coming to B'nai Jeshurun in 1998.

In the years that Cantor Shifman has been at B'nai Jeshurun, he has transformed our services with his moving lyrical voice and his warm inviting style. Cantor Shifman has a true gift for classical Cantorial music, which he has integrated with contemporary music to create a spiritually uplifting service. In addition to his own music, the Cantor oversees our adult and youth choirs and two instrumental groups, and brings outstanding concerts and musical programs to our synagogue. He has also produced ten outstanding Cantorial albums.
