A Cantor on trial

Description:

"Cantor Leibele Waldman plays multiple roles in this short spoof of a synagogue committee in search of a chazan (cantor) for the High Holiday services. Cantor Waldman introduces each scene, as a Galitzianer and then a Daytsher (German) chazan audition. Displeased with what they've heard, and unable to agree, they are visited by Leibele's agent who offers them a third alternative: a modern Chazan, with 'pep and jazz, ' who can do Kol Nidre with a 'two-step' and Netaneh Tokef [sic] with a 'black bottom.'"--NCJF website.
