"An important, richly detailed work, the first comprehensive study of the training and professional enculturation of this central liturgical/musical leader... As Cohen examines how individuals and institutions negotiate the balance between tradition and modernity, he makes a significant contribution to our understanding of contemporary religious life, professional development, and the construction and negotiation of cultural/religious identity." Rabbi Jeffrey A. Summit, Tufts University "A unique study focusing on the training and transformation of Reform cantorial students into invested cantors... Informative and interesting."
