Yanky55 you obviously know very little about Kwartin. The words meant a great deal to him, and it is apparent in his work. In fact when he heard Tiher R. Yishmael, the Gerrer Rebbe excplained that it’s impossible to sing that piece and not have hirhurei teshuva. I suggest you read his autobiography, Meine Leben, to learn more about him.
November 6, 2008 2:39 pm at 2:39 pm #631191Yanky55ParticipantCantor- Two questions. Did YOU read the book? It’s in Yiddish.
Second, was Kwartin a shomer Torah umitzvot? I could be wrong about him, but why did he have the reputation that he did?
Yes, Tiher Rabbe Yishmael is extremely moving, but it proves nothing.
November 6, 2008 3:09 pm at 3:09 pm #631192cantoresqMemberYanky55 I haven’t read the entire book, but I did once spend a couple of hours in the library skimming through it. As to Kwartin’s personal religious observances, I hvae no idea what he did in his private life. But I do know that his son, Saul Kwartin, was a life long member of Agudath Shalom in Stamford CT, an Orthodox schul, and he walked to schul, even when many his age drove there. I never heard anything about Kwartin’s reputation, so I can’t address your question.

I haven’t heard anything that stirring and original for a long time. It was mimkomcha, and if I remember correctly you improvised it on the spot.

January 13, 2009 6:22 pm at 6:22 pm #631198cantoresqMemberIt was an Upper East side eatery. Hardly a real kumsitz. Besides, I’m not any more anti-chassidic than I am anti anything else. I dislike all groups equally.
