chazzan
n. (alternative form of hazzan English)
Usage examples of "chazzan".
In the morning and afternoon prayers, the tradition for communal worship was to recite the Amidah privately, silently, in a whisper or in a quiet voice, and then have the chazzan, the cantor, chant it aloud when everyone had finished their private recitation.
If a minyan was not present, the Chazzan could not repeat the Amidah, the Kaddishes could not be said, and the Torah and Haftorah could not be chanted.
When the chazzan bore the Torah round, none kissed it with greater zest.
