Here Come the Hanukkah Videos: Chanukah Medley by Cantor Azi Schwartz of Park Avenue Synagogue

Azi Schwartz joined the Park Avenue Synagogue clergy in 2009. He follows distinguished predecessors, including Cantor David Putterman and Cantor David Lefkowitz, whose musical leadership established Park Avenue Synagogue as the flagship of Jewish liturgical music in the United States. 

Born and raised in Israel, Cantor Azi Schwartz has sung with prestigious orchestras and choirs around the world, including the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra and the Berlin RIAS Kammerchor. He has performed in the United Nations’ General Assembly Hall, the United States Capitol Rotunda, and the Knesset, as well as in Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center and the Mann Auditorium. 

In this video, Azi sings a medley of Chanukah songs created with Oran Eldor, and performs it with David Enlow and the Park Avenue Synagogue Ensemble.

Shabbat Shalom and Happy Chanukah!
