Mike Weis is a Cantor at
The Brotherhood Synagogue in Manhattan
ICNY is pleased to launch a free podcast series called “NYC Faith Leaders,” featuring interviews with diverse faith leaders throughout the city. In the first installment (edited by Maggi Van Dorn), Mike Weis talks about how he was called to his role as Cantor at the Brotherhood Synagogue in Manhattan, the role of music in expressing faith and in bringing people together, and his plans to establish an interfaith music festival. We also offer some supplemental audio of Mike singing “Avinu Malkeinu,” and discussing the history and function of “tropes” used for ritual chanting of Hebrew scripture.
We hope you will not just listen to this episode, but download the podcasts to hear while driving, jogging, or washing the dishes. And subscribe in order to be alerted when new installments are available. It’s a great way to learn about the faiths of our New York City neighbors.
