TACI :: About TACI

The Tel Aviv Cantorial Institute is the world’s leading institution training traditional Chazzanim and Ba’alei T’filah.

Graduates of TACI serve some of the most prominent synagogues in leading Jewish Communities worldwide. This institution was founded with a vision and far-reaching perspective regarding the importance of preserving the world of Chazzanut and nusach Hat’filah for generations to come.

Chazzanut is the music of the Jewish people. The Chazzan – our songster. His music must inspire, yet at all times remain true to the traditional Nusach. In Europe, where the art of Chazzanut flourished, people would flock to the synagogue to listen to a Chazzan. The holocaust nearly brought an end to this rich tradition. With a revived interest in Jewish Liturgy, Chazzanut is experiencing a Renaissance, indeed a revival amongst Jews throughout the world.
