What do you call the person who leads singing in the Jewish Synagogue?
The person leading the service, is usually called a shaliach (or shlicha if female), which is short for shaliach tsibor (שליח ציבור), "public representative".the Shaliach in many synagogues is either a Rabbi or a Cantor, but this is not a requirement to be a shaliach, and many synagogues don't have either one.To lead a Jewish service, a person only has to be Jewish and over the age of 13 (and a few other situational requirements). Orthodox synagogues usually (but not always) require the shaliach to be male unless it is an all-female group.
