RE: [Cz-L] Joseph Schmidt fame

I beg to differ. Sorry to disappoint you. The greatest chazen in Czernowitz
was, in my view, Pinie Spektor (Pinie der Chazen), originally at the Boyaner
Rebbe's court in Boyan and later with his wonderful choir at the "Chor Shil"
(not far from the Theaterplatz).

No matter! The greatest chazen of all was Itzik Shoichet at the Moishev
Zekeinim shul next to the great temple.
