The verse of Proverbs (3,9) "Honour G-d with thy substance" is explained in
Midrash Psikta Rabbati as including "your voice".

For if your voice is pleasing and you are in the synagogue, rise up and honour G-d with your voice. Hiyah, the nephew of Rabbi Elazar Hakaper had a beautiful voice and Rabbi Elazar would say to him:
Hiyah, my son,
stand and give honour to the Lord with that which he has endowed you!

These words are aptly suited to Cantor Chaim Adler.

Chaim Adler is the singular most talented Cantor to come along in a lifetime. Possessing an incredibly beautiful voice, he uses it with impeccable taste, with style and superb skills. His interpretation of the liturgy is flawless, and his carriage and demeanor on stage or on the Bimah is a joy to behold.

He possesses an affability, charm and a quiet modesty that makes him an all around winner.
The self-styled "Chazan with a suitcase" appears all over the world and in every corner of the globe, his popularity reaches heights never before achieved.
His domination of the field of Chazanut is so complete that it is doubtful anyone could ever threaten it.

Chaim Adler has recently been compared to the greatest tenor of the 20th century, the great Enrico Caruso who thrilled audiences with his beautiful operatic voice. Like Caruso, Chaim Adler has mastered most of the operas that feature lyric tenor virtuosos. Adler is so versatil, so gifted, that he is equally at home with operas as well with Chazanut, the field that he absolutely dominates.

When Adler appears in front of his audiences he is given standing ovations that last for minutes. Such an astounding tribute never was accorded to a singer before.

Chaim Adler started his singing career aged just six helping out the local Chazan where his father first became aware of his son's talent. Cantor Leib Glantz soon took the young Adler under his wing eventually becoming both his coach and mentor.

Speaking about his education Chaim Adler says:

"He told me not to try to be a Kousevitsky, a Yossele Rosenblatt or a Mordechai Hershmann, just be yourself. Be a great Chaim Adler instead of trying to copy others. I started to think about my own way and my own style.

Chazan Glantz taught me how to think about tefillah, how to lead and to inspire. He also helped me to know etymology of the prayers and appreciate their construction from the roots down."

I have learned all the different styles of Chazanut and my goal is to draw out people to a higher level. With my concerts I want to appeal to those people who do not normally have an opportunity to come to the synagogue and to hear the liturgy."

Adler took this advice to heart. He is now the leading Chazan in the world and is the envy of his peers. His colleagues insist that he is unique, with a talent which is unmatched.

Adler has appeared in concerts worldwide: Rome, Munich, Australia, Mexico, the United States, Miami, San Diego, London, Paris, and even the great concert hall in Vienna. In all of these places, Chazan Chaim Adler has thrilled audiences like no other performer before or since.

Chaim Adler led a Yom Kippur sercive at the Kotel in front of 15,000 people.
At the 30th anniversary of the liberation of Dachau concentration camp in Bavaria, Germany, he was invited to chant the memorial service. Even non-Jewish government officials were so moved emotionally by his recitation that they wept openly and embraced and hugged Adler upon his completion of the prayer.

He said:

"The experience had a profound effect on me. I am not a computer and when I thought that our brothers and sisters and the people of Israel had suffered so much there, how could I not be influenced?"

Chaim Adler is presently the Cantor at the Great Synagogue in Tel Aviv where he officiates at all public and religious functions.
Cantor Adler is also an ordained Rabbi and studied at the Hevron Yeshiva in Jerusalem. In 1968 he published a book entitled "The Pure Table", pertaining to the laws of Kashrut.
