Another brother is Simcha who was the chazan at the synagogue that I attended
in Cape Town, South Africa - Tiferet Israel Synagogue. I'm not sure if Simcha
is still alive, as I left South Africa in 1983 - but he had/has a great voice.
He was very emotional in his singing and I will never forget his version of
kiddush where he would emphasize the words 'zecher, zecher".
