Basel Synagogue Choir Opens Website
The Basel Synagogue Choir, one of the rare synagogue choirs in continuous, uninterrupted existence in Europe from before the Holocaust, has recorded several CDs, and now has a new website at
www.synagogenchorbasel.ch. The Basel Jewish community founded in 1805 Einheitsgemeinde (‘United Community’) has also maintained a professional chazzan. Sound clips on the website feature the beautiful voice of Issachar Helman, a native of Israel. He and the all male Choir sing at The Great Synagogue in Basel located at Leimenstrasse 24, every week.
