Welcome back to Chazan Dovid Weinberg who is once again leading the congregation in High Holiday services.
​​​​​​​    Chazan Weinberg certainly lives up to his reputation for the ability to combine popular melodies and traditional chazanut. 
     Born in Jerusalem, Chazan Weinberg studied nusach with his father, Rabbi Noftoli Weinberg, and with the world-renown chazan Moshe Stern.

He is the permanent chazan at Congregation Ohel Yitzhak in Jerusalem and a guest chazzan at the Great Synagogue in Yerushalim, the Yeshurun Synagogue and other congregations throughout Israel.
      Chazan Weinberg is often called to synagogues and programs in Europe and in other cities in the U.S.  Prior to his work at Torat Emet, he led the High Holiday Services at Congregation Shaarei Tfilah in L.A.  He lives in Jerusalem with his wife Bracha and their children.  When not busy with Chazanut he works in advertising.
