VirtualCantor.com: The purpose of this site is to promote the proliferation of Nusach and to make a Nusach readily accessible to those who have a desire to learn and a desire to deepen their Judaism. This site is a volunteer work in progress.

Davenning Files from the DC Minyan: Several MP3 files recorded (with the great help of Kehilat Hadar), that review the Friday night and Shabbat morning davenning, as well as detailed instructions for service leaders.  We hope these will be valuable both to those who have led before and would like to review, as well as to those who are learning to lead for the first time.
