Shabbos Morning.....

His voice emanates throughout the air, he is a beautiful chazzan, he is very much enjoyed by the congregants. Quiet murmurs of Davening are heard throughout the small but comfortable Shul, but when the chazzan starts to sings all grow silent except for those who are loving his melodies and can’t help but to sing along. The chazzan, his name is Chaim, is wearing a Tallis and singing very beautifully, his style is a throwback to the original way of davening from back in the day, yet he is able to transform it and modernize it so the people can relate. When the chazzan is finished Shachris he is then welcomed to davene Musaf, his powerful voice is heard throughout the room Keser is a success! The crowed is happy, the chazzan was great, he really made the Davening more enjoyable, he inspired the audience. It all looks good.....

No one knows that just a few hours ago Chaim was at a club breaking every Shabbos and every Jewish Law he ever grew up with, no one in the Shul would ever imagine that the night before (Friday night) Chaim or "Sean" ate at a jazz club, paid for the food, drove in a car, met up with friends, and dressed more like a punk rock star then a religious Jew..…
