Cantor Aroni’s voice was spectacular from the beginning. As a child singing in the choir he became known as the “Wonder Boy Cantor from Jerusalem”. His voice studies with Cantor Samuel Kavetsky and Maestro Astolfo Pescia refined and enriched his natural gift.

He came to America in 1947 where he served as Cantor in synagogues in Philadelphia and New York City. From 1964-1968 he served as Cantor of the Beth Emeth Bais Yehuda Synagogue in Toronto, Canada. It was here that he was able to realize his dream of reviving the boy choir and integrating it into the service. The choir later added adults and received many invitations to perform, including a memorable performance at New York’s Carnegie Hall where they were given a standing ovation. From 1968-1979 Cantor Aroni lived and sang in NYC. He was Cantor at Beth Torah in North Miami Beach until his death in 1990.   More Info…
