Fw: Neil Levin / Milken Archive

[Fay Singer <sarafay...>]

In 1997, Prof. Neil Levin of the Milken Foundation commissioned me to
interview Simcha Kusevitsky, the last surviving brother of the famous
Koussevitsky brothers. For many years, Cantor Simcha Kusevitsky officiated
in one of the main synagogues of Cape Town, South Africa. This was done 'on
camera' as part of Prof. Levin's project of chazanim who came to America.
The interview videotape is in the Milken Archive of American Jewish Music.
Cantor Simcha Kusevitsky passed away in Cape Town at a retirement home, June
1998.
