Dr. Gideon Joffe Chairman of the Jewish Community of Berlin
It is largely thanks to the great reformer of synagogue music that the traditional Jewish prayer service was given a new form
Louis Lewandowski (1821 – 1894)
Louis Lewandowski left his family at the age of 12, which was not unusual at the time, went to Berlin and joined the Jewish community.
Cantor Ascher Lion quickly recognized Lewandowski’s musicality and beautiful boyish soprano and made him his musical assistant in the service.
