This person is someone I remember from my childhood, in the 1950s. He was a cantor at the synagogue called "Rodef Sholom" that was on Fairfax Ave. just north of Pico Blvd. That place is now a Korean Church.

Itzikel Schiff sang with great feeling and his image remains in my mind. If someone has a photo of his tombstone, I'd be glad to translate any Hebrew on it.

-------------------------
While the synagogue he sang at was originally called Rodef Sholom it joined with another synagogue, I think, Etz Chaim. The combined name was so long, they changed the name to "Judea Congregation."

later, Judea itself moved, and joined with B'nai David, moving to Pico Blvd., in the building that was once the "Stadium" movie theater.
