Hazzan

 Hazzan Mordechai Schram, who joined the staff of Congregation Rodeph Sholom in August 2011, serves God by helping others daven.  

He teaches and encourages “congregational davening,” connecting Jews to the beauty and meaning of Jewish prayer, ritual and observance.  Mordy is a natural in the synagogue.  He is a fourth generation hazzan who,  after college at Brandeis,  found his way to Congregation B’nai Jeshurun on Manhattan’s Upper West Side.   While he was working in advertising,  he was increasingly drawn to the synagogue, first leading morning minyan, then Friday night services, then holiday services.

 
Over time, he realized that davening and studying, doing social action and teaching others, was the direction in which his heart pulled him.  In 1995, he left his career in advertising and enrolled in cantorial school at the Jewish Theological Seminary.   Before coming to Rodeph, he served pulpits at West End Synagogue and Ramath Orah in Manhattan and also at Little Neck Jewish Center in Queens.
