Testimonials

Ben is a personable and likable young man whose maturity and commitment to our community I respect, and whose behavior is always impeccable and appropriate…possessing genuine charm, he is very well liked and admired throughout our congregation.

Cantor Ilan

There are many professionals who serve our Religious needs and the obvious strengths of Cantor Rosner, are his integrity, heartfelt Jewish values and willingness be available to undertake both new frontiers as well as follow established traditions. Very few professionals in our Jewish faith can be found to have this great ability both professionally and morally.

Julian E. and Harvey E.R.

Ian and I want to thank you again for participating in our son’s Aufruf ceremony and weekend. Your beautiful voice added to the simcha and ceremony. The entire Shabbat service (with the Bat Mitzvah) was so spirited and and meaningful. We’re glad you and Alyssa could celebrate with us. Many thanks.

Connie P.

Dear Cantor Ben, Thanks for all you do at Beth Shalom and in the Pittsburgh music community. May you and Alyssa be blessed with peace, joy, and happiness in your life together. Shabbat Shalom! Elisheva

Thank you very much for the enjoyable class that you organized in your home. People had a great time, and the appreciation for what you do was in the air. The delicious refreshments added even more excitement!

Dina R.

“…I had the privilege of working together with Cantor Ben Rosner for seven years until I retired in August, 2020. As a former cantor, I understand the role of Jewish music as an instrument to inspire and give meaning to people’s lives. Ben Rosner does exactly that. Ben possesses a gift of being a one-of-a-kind creative spirit. He is blessed with a neshama that enwraps you in a warm, loving embrace. His exceptional talents as a musician, cantor, teacher are the essential ingredients to enha… Read more

Rabbi Reuven Taff

Beth Shalom is a wonderful shul, but it can be difficult to feel welcome as a young person without children. Nevertheless, Cantor Ben helped make us feel comfortable and welcome as a kind, friendly, and enthusiastic leader. Both Reuben and I believe that Cantor Ben is a huge asset to the Beth Shalom congregation.

Fran S.

All in all, any congregation which employs Ben Rosner as its Hazzan will be most pleased and have a wonderful, caring and talented young man in its midst.

Rabbi Dr. Kenneth A.E.

I believe Ben would be an asset to any congregation that employs him as a hazzan. I highly recommend Ben both as a cantor and as a worker. I recommend him as someone who posesses excellent communication and educational skills, Jewish knowledge, and leadership qualities. I recommend him as a talented and gifted person with wonderful musical skills. I recommend him as a superb, sensitive human being who cares about his fellow men and women. A real mensch.

Cantor Ilan

I must tell you as meaningful and as beautiful as Jesse was on Shabbat, it was your manner in getting Jesse ready that really made a difference. Throughout all of his preparation, you were kind, fun and inspiring to him…you knew when to push and when to give him some room. You really made the [Bar Mitzvah] a memory that will be with us and Jessee for the rest of our lives. We are so glad you were able to join us in the evening and celebrate this wonderful day with us. Thank you again. … Read more
