“One of the outstanding Synagogue singers toward the end of the eighteenth and the beginning of the nineteenth century was Israel Lovy- born in Schottland near Danzig (1773). His parents came from Poland. While he was still in his childhood, his parents settled in Glogow, where he became meshorer to Yitzchok Glogow.”

“Only in 1838 were the first moves made towards transformation of the meshorerim into a modern four-part choir.”
