American Conference of Cantors

About the American Conference of Cantors

Founded in 1952 by graduates of the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, the American Conference of Cantors (ACC) has dedicated itself to representing the cantorate and providing essential support, advocacy, and training for its members. Over the decades, the ACC has evolved to focus on the sacred calling of the cantorial vocation, enhancing the role of cantors in Jewish life.

Impact of the ACC

The ACC has significantly elevated the cantorate within the Reform movement, advocating for the professional needs of cantors and fostering a cultural renaissance in Jewish liturgical music. The establishment of a pension plan and the transition from investiture to ordination for cantors have reinforced their roles as spiritual leaders in congregations.
