Re: Hazanim in NYC w/ trad'l Nusach

[Robert Cohen <rlcm17...>]

This is far more Jonathan's area than mine, but certainly Sherwood Goffin at 
Lincoln Square Synagogue davens according to nusach (and believes, very 
much, in doing so), though he is conversant with Shlomo and Shlomo-like 
niggunim as well.  Cantor Goffin was trained at Yeshiva University's Belz 
school and is on the faculty there.

I realize LSS may not be the easiest place to get a ticket to, to put it 
mildly ...
