História biográfica

A chazan (also chazzan or hazzan) is a cantor who leads the synagogue congregation in sung prayer. In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries this role developed into a full-time profession and professionally trained chazanim came to be viewed as deputy rabbis, part of the clergy.

The Association of Ministers (Chazanim) of Great Britain started as the Choral Section of the United Synagogue. At the first meeting in March 1934 Professor S. Alman addressed the meeting and emphasised the desirability of having such a section. Principals were laid down and it was decided to hold regular meetings and appoint a committee.

The objects of the Association are to represent the interests of the Chazanim of the United Synagogue in all matters affecting the relationship between:
1) The Chazanim and the United Synagogue;
2) The Chazanim and other communal bodies;
3) The Chazanim and the Chief Rabbinate.
The Association also aims to act as a professional body in matters affecting the dignity and prestige of the United Synagogue Chazanim.

The Association is interested in providing cultural advancement, social recreation, mutual aid, a library of music for members. Membership is open to all Chazanim of the United Synagogue.
