He regards many of the rules restricting cantors as 'concessions to custom, ' and wrote this exposition of the cantor's role during the past 1900 years to help readers understand why it was always surrounded by controversy. He intends that this history of a most important position in synagogue life will 'serve as a tool for accessing the past' and assessing the future of what has emerged as the profession of cantor."" --Journal of Synagogue Music Rabbi Wayne Allen is the author of three previous books and has taught at California State University Long Beach, the American Jewish University, and the University of Waterloo.
