Los Angeles Cantors
Victor Rosenstein: the First Cantor of Los Angeles.
The life story of Victor Rosenstein is not well preserved. The little that remains tells of a struggling nineteenth-century cantor, floating from congregation to congregation, mistreated by temple boards, and never receiving the respect or remuneration he felt he deserved. For a brief time during his unenviable career, Rosenstein sang at Congregation Beth Israel in Los Angeles, making him the first Cantor to serve in that city.
He learned that Congregation Beth Israel (a.k.a. Olive Street Shul), a small Orthodox synagogue, had been operating without a Cantor or a Rabbi.
