How We Got Started
Benny Rogosnitzky is a world-renowned cantor serving the Park East Synagogue on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Familiarly known as “Cantor Benny,” he gives lectures on the tradition of cantorial music and its relevance to prayer. Prior to his current role, he acted as senior cantor at Jewish Center on the Upper West Side for thirteen years.
Cantor Benny Rogosnitzky was born in Liverpool, UK and spent his early years in the Netherlands and South Africa. When Benny was nine years old, internationally-recognized cantor Johnny Gluck saw his great potential for liturgy, and he became a child soloist in Gluck’s choir. Rogosnitzky returned to England at age sixteen in order to lead the High Holiday Services at the prominent Brighton and Hove Synagogue. During this period, he attended Manchester Yeshiva to further progress his Jewish studies. He subsequently attended the Royal Manchester School of Music and Art, earning his degree in Music Theory.
A distinguished cantor, Benny Rogosnitzky has mentored many of the most prestigious cantors currently serving today. He has also acted as a guest lecturer at the Yale Conservatory of Music, teaching on the practice of traditional and modern liturgy and music. Rogosnitzky has written on many topics including the role of religion in family life as well as technology in modern music. Additionally, he produces many concerts, with international performances in London, New York, Warsaw, Tel Aviv, and South Africa.
Benny Rogosnitzky has a passion for making a meaningful difference in people’s lives, not only through liturgy, but also charitable functions, as well as Jewish outreach in the United States and Israel.
