Appearing with him were the Leeds UHC Choir with Chazan Alby Chait, Chazan Adam Caplan of the Prestwich Hebrew Congregation and the Freylach Spielers. They were under the musical direction of Phil Cammerman.

Proceeds will go towards educating youngsters in Jewish liturgy and singing styles. The large audience was enraptured by the array of choral song, cantorial recitative and folk music.

Organiser Alex Klein said: "The audience responded to the wonderful chazanim, creating a great atmosphere. The diversity of the programme proved a tremendous success.

"Our mission is to provide students at Jewish schools and yeshivot with practical guidance on the laws and traditions related to leading services.

"The steady loss of knowledge in this important area has led to services becoming less attractive and risks us losing connection with the rich traditional liturgy."

As a young star of chazanut, Chazan Lemmer lifted the audience in a manner reminiscent of the great chazanim of the past, added Mr Klein.
