Cantor Sholom Jacobs
Chabad of the Shore is honored to have Sholom Jacobs as our Chazzan.
Sholom developed a love and appreciation for music at a very young age. Over the years he has nurtured and developed his passion for music into a singing and chazzanus career that has taken him around the world. Growing up in Glasgow, Scotland, Sholom began wowing audiences from the age of five, entertaining large crowds of all ages. By the time he was in Israel studying in yeshiva, his Jewish music career was underway and he was ready to take his passion for tefillah and nusach to the next level. He studied chazzanus at the Jerusalem Cantorial Institute under world-renowned chazzanim Naftali Hershtik,Yisroel Rand, and Benjamin Munk, earning himself a degree in nusach chazzanus.
The son of Lubavitcher Shluchim, Sholom feels strongly that he use his talent as part of his Shlichus in this world. Whether he is uplifting the spirits of a community with his soulful davening or entertaining crowds in concert, it is evident that Sholom’s heart and soul are connected to music very deeply.
