The chief rabbi who played Liszt
mainRabbi David Posner, spiritual leader of New York’s Temple Emanu-El for forty years, died yesterday at 71.
Author of a doctoral thesis on ‘Reviving a Lost Art — Piano Music of Russian-Jewish Origin’, Posner kept a grand piano in his office and one congragrant remembers seeing the Liszt sonata open on its rack.
Not many rabbis can play that.
Obit here.
