On Saturday mornings in synagogue Torah is chanted using traditional melodies. Scripture is transformed into Song. Listeners in every age can hear it with fresh ears, with their own ears. Dr. Gettinger, a rural family physician, advocates for an artistic presentation of Torah, aimed at making the weekly experience both pleasurable and powerful. Chant, both music and grammar, can also be an interpretive tool, providing insight into meaning, and enriching understanding. This guide will introduce the novice and general synagogue goer to the art of chant, while providing the skilled reader with fascinating new perspectives.
