Cantor Moshe Oysher- Kol Nidre

Moishe Oysher: Music
Born in 1907 in Bessarabia, Imperial Russia (Moldova) and died in 1958 in New York. Although he may have come from a family of cantors going back six generations, he seems to have been drawn to the stage and popular entertainment from an early age. Oysher joined a Canadian travelling Yiddish theatrical troupe in 1921 and moved to New York City in 1923. By 1932 he had started his own company, entertaining in the USA and South America. After returning to the USA from Buenos Aires in 1934, he had difficulty finding work in New York's Yiddish Theater. When he was offered the opportunity to sing for the High Holy Days at the First American-Rumanian Synagogue in NYC's Lower East Side, he accepted the position and became a cantorial sensation!
Despite his great success as a cantor Moishe Oysher was ever the entertainer and became quite famous for his starring roles in three Yiddish films including, "The Cantor's Son" (1936), "The Singing Blacksmith" (1938), and "Overture to Glory" (1940). He was also a successful recording artist.
Moishe Oysher was able to combine his passion for the Chazzanut with his love of performance, creating a crowd-pleasing style that thrilled audiences in synagogues and theaters. His recordings represent the world of our fathers and grandfathers who appreciated Oysher's rich voice and fiery style.

Many years ago I took the buses from New Jersey to Brooklyn just to buy an 8 track of Moshe Oysher. Unsurpassed voice.

Beauty you can feel to the very marrow of your bones. Thank you for sharing this! ❤❤

[@nudnikjeff]

My grandmother always talked about Moishe Oysher having a magnificent cantorial voice. She was so right.

[@markuselkanabrajtman5624]

When I was a small boy, about 70 years ago, my uncle Cantor Paul Brajtman, had a magnificent tenor baritone. Moishe Oyshe came to Cape Town, and he sand with uncle Paul in the old Roeland Street Shul. After all these years, I still remember Moyshe Oyshe

Overture to Glory; it's a 1939 Yiddish movie. I was able to find part on KZbin> good luck.

This is not from the 1939 movie, Overture to Glory, it's from a phonograph record made about 1950.

Beautiful ... however, in regard to the brief spoken introduction, Kol Nidre is _not_, strictly speaking, a prayer. Please take a look at the wikipedia article.

[@stumulne4294]

+Hortense Weinblatt: To save folks from digging through Wikipedia, Kol Nidre is a legal document. It's intent is to dissolve oaths _to GOD_ rather than to man. How it ended up in the Erev Yom Kippur service, I'll probably never know, other than it makes for beautiful music.

[@sussmanbern]

Kol Nidre concedes that our promises to God have not been kept, so it effectively confesses that the promises are broken and enables us to atone for them on the Day of Atonement, rather than leaving those promises hanging to continually reproach us for not fulfilling them.

[@hortenseweinblatt1508]

No need to dig through wikipedia, good buddy. Go right here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kol_Nidre It is only a few dozen paragraphs, very informative. Now I bet probably you'll know :))

[@irwinbernstein3384]

I just remembered his sister's name. It is Marilyn Michaels.

Marilyn Michaels' parents were Cantoress and actress Fraydele Oysher and Harold Sternberg, who was with the Metropolitan Opera for 37 years. Cantor and film actor Moshe Oysher was Marilyn's uncle, and Fraydele's sister.
