Wizards of Ashkenaz 2014

The Wizards of Ashkenaz (a takeoff on the Wizards of Azkeban from the Harry Potter series) is a quartet of four young cantors who met and became friends while cantorial students at the Jewish Theological Seminary (JTS) in New York. They now all have jobs in differing parts of the country but get together for a few concerts a year, one of which was held at Beth El on April 29, 2012, and at which I shot photos. (One of their members is Beth El's own Hazzan Matthew Klein, second from left, below.)

The group used one of my photos in multiple places: on their web site, on their Facebook page, on their Kickstarter page raising money for their CD, and on the cover of their first CD, "Wizards Live".
