Hi Matt, totally with you on the need to create a cantorial ritual not dependent on the rabbinical one. Frankly, both disciplines struggle with the empowerment ritual once training shifted from a personal relationship to a training school. Rabbinical schools in the u.s. have been impacted by the academic model, but it would be great to see cantors ( and rabbis) carve out new possibilities. חילך לאורייתא.
Thanks so much, Rav Ebn. I agree that the academic model depersonalized a lot of things, and also communicated a siloed approach to things like Torah and Avodah upon which the world stands.

Nice post, Matt. How can we access all of these theses?
I recommend writing directly to the authors.
