Most synagogal musicians today still harken back to the golden age of the mid-19^th century in Central Europe, especially Germany. One name has become a synonym for the German origins of Jewish liturgical music: The Berlin cantor and composer Louis Lewandowski. Like many of his fellow cantors, Lewandowski was influenced by the then-popular late-Romantic European music in his compositions for the synagogue. His most important innovation was the introduction of the organ; however this was only used in some of the liberal or egalitarian services.

The following cantors serve in our synagogues today:

• Cantor Shlomo Braun - Joachimstaler Str. Synagogue (exclusively)
• Cantor Isaac Sheffer - Pestalozzistr., Fraenkelufer and Rykestr. synagogues
