Thank you for this recommendation.  The article by Eliyahu Schleiffer is an 
excellent "thumbnail course" on Jewish liturgical music.  Funny, I own the 
book from which it is taken; reading it was on an old "to-do" list that I 
never got around to-do.  Now I've downloaded to my PalmPilot and will 
finally read it.

I'd like to return the favor by pointing out the following wonderful 
website on cantors of Alsace-Lorraine, with some great sound files:
