M. Mossel

Meijer Mossel (1910-1978) was chazzan in Amsterdam (Gerard Doustraat synagogue) before and shortly after the war and from 1949 in The Hague. After his retirement in 1975he continued to serve when requested. 

 

There are four streams plus a recording of the 7 ברכות at a wedding. For now, the indexing is at a high level, more detailed indexing will follow later. This indexing is taken from a list made by his son Jehoeda. From another source (D. Springer) I got three streams from the chupa of his parents, Mr. & Mrs. Springer-Keizer on 7 December 1958/25 Kislev 5715 in the Wagenstraat synagogue in the Hague, which I add to this page, next to the 7 ברכות. Unfortunately, Mossel didn't use the Ashekanzi pronunciation in all recordings (*).

  (*) reason for this is given by his son Jehoeda in Dutch "Mijn vader "zong mij in" in Ivriet uitspraak, omdat ik ook zo dienst heb gedaan in Utrecht. Hij vond het trouwens wel uitdagend om het zo te doen. Op mijn 16e of daaromtrent ben ik overgegaan van het Ashkenazisch op het Ivriet onder invloed van Bne Akiva. Dat waren de dagen toen wij ons nog "Chaloetsiem" waanden. Mannes Wikler z.l. had er geen bezwaar tegen, dat ik in het Ivriet zou dawwenen. Zelfs de aartsconservatief Mr.de Haas had er geen bezwaar tegen"
