about

Gershon Sirota (1874-1943) began his career as a cantor in Odessa. After starting his his lengthy and successful collaboration with choirmaster Leo Lowe in Vilna’s Shtatshul, in 1907 he became head cantor at the Great Synagogue of Warsaw where for the next 19 years thousands of people wanted to hear his legendary voice. He traveled on concert tours all around Europe and the US, NYC debut at a fully-packed Carnegie Hall. During World War II, he was forced into the Warsaw ghetto but because of his wide-spread fame, he was given the rare permission to leave by the Nazis. In the end, this great man chose to stay with those he loved. He and his entire family perished during the 1943 uprising. “Retsey” is a part of the daily Amidah Prayer.
