Jothar – Funny how the Agudah have Chazzonim at their large functions.
Go to any Chazzonis concert, with and without t’fila, and you’ll see a vast majority of chassidim; hardly what you would call modern Orthodox.
All the great shuls, including the Safardeshe Shul in Boro Park had Chazzanim, hardly what you would call modern Orthodox.
If chazzanis was inspirational then, it is inspirational now.
