Publisher: Davka, 2010

Learn to lead your congregation in holiday song with Favorite Synagogue Nigunim, featuring Sherwood Goffin, renowned cantor of Lincoln Square Synagogue in New York City, and faculty member, Belz School of Jewish Music at Yeshiva University in New York.

Favorite Synagogue Nigunim is the complete guide for the congregational melodies of the Shalosh Regalim - Pesach, Shavuot, and Sukkot - and Chanukah! It features fifty-five different melodies for the following sections of the holiday prayers:

Kedusha of Shacharis
Hallel
Koh Keili
Kedusha of Musaf
Chazaras HaShatz
Tefillas Tal
Tefillas Geshem
Hoshanos

Favorite Synagogue Nigunim includes both musical tracks and audio instruction from Cantor Goffin, detailing the history of each track, the proper way it should be sung, and other tips.

Favorite Synagogue Nigunim features a wide variety of tunes selected by Cantor Goffin, from classic synagogue standards to Carlebach melodies, appropriate for each holiday. Cantor Goffin sings these melodies, accurately and authentically, in a pleasant voice that is easy to follow.

Favorite Synagogue Nigunim is ideal for both beginning and experienced Ba'alei Tefillah who want to learn or review appropriate tunes for congregational singing. While Cantor Goffin chants the tunes in Ashkenazic pronunciation, they can easily be mastered by Ba'alei Tefillah who use Sephardic pronunciation as well, since they are musical in nature - nigunim - and not nusach.

These inspiring tunes, appropriate for each holiday, were selected and instituted by Chazzan Goffin during the 45 years he has officiated at Lincoln Square Synagogue.
