Temple's Glorious Voice
Esther Aliweiss Inqber
Special to the Jewish News
F
or more than a year, a
persistent synagogue
secretary in Akron, Ohio,
attempted to make a match: Euni
Margolis, a local pop singer, and
Norman Rose, the temple's cantor.
Although initially reluctant, when
Euni laid eyes on the handsome
cantor dressed head-to-toe in white
at Rosh Hashanah services — she
immediately flipped.
"He looked positively stunning,"
she recalled. "And when I heard that
voice, I was totally blown away. It
was glorious."
Three weeks later, she said, "I
was wearing my little flashy ring
that told the world, 'I think this guy
is mine.' We've been true partners
ever since."
The Roses shared a 46-year mar-
riage. And for most of those years,
their other great partnership was
with Temple Emanu-El in Oak Park,
where he was cantor and she direct-
ed the children's choir.
Cantor Norman Rose, 86, of
Southfield, died July 26, 2007, from
diabetes complications. Cantor
emeritus at the time of his death,
he served the Reform congregation
from 1972 to 2004. He was initially
both cantor and director of educa-
tion.
His July 29 funeral was held at
the temple, a second home for the
Roses. Euni, who had a 1956 hit
record with sister Eudi — "Tonight
You Belong To Me" by the Tracey
Twins — credits her husband with
showing her how to teach music in
the temple's Sunday school and how
to conduct an orchestra. The sanc-
tuary's choir loft is named for them.
Music was Cantor Rose's passion
ever since he was a boy singing
with his father in synagogue choirs
in Rochester, N.Y. His next stop
was Curtis Institute of Music, a
conservatory in Philadelphia, prior
to joining the Army Air Corps in
World War II. During the war, he was
a radio operator and gunner on a
bomber, flying 34 missions out of
Italy. In recognition of his military
service,17 honor guards from the
Jewish War Veterans participated in
his funeral.
Cantor Rose earned two degrees
from Eastman School of Music in
Rochester. In 1949, he and nine
other voice students received
Italian government scholarships for
study at La Scala Opera House in
Milan. Two years into the program,
the Korean War forced them home.
Although Cantor Rose decided
against an operatic career, he
always performed Italian arias and
folk songs. He took his experience
in chazzanot to Hebrew Union
College School of Sacred Music in
Cincinnati and was ordained as a
cantor-educator in 1956. He spent
the next 11 years with Temple Israel
in Akron and five more at Temple
Beth Zion in Buffalo, N.Y., before
moving to Michigan.
Temple Emanu-El Rabbi Joseph
Klein, who joined the congregation
in 1997, noted the cantor's "reassur-
ing presence ... the warm familiarity
of his voice and the singular way he
chanted our liturgy."
In 2006, in celebration of his
50 years in the cantorate, Cantor
Rose received an honorary doctor-
ate in music from the American
Conference of Cantors.
Cantor Rose prepared scores
of students to become bar and
bat mitzvah, even adult b'nai
mitzvah. Ferndale residents Frank
Castronova and his wife, Gaye
Tischler, are adults he helped
through this rite of passage.
"There was pure joy for him in
teaching," said Castronova, recall-
ing the cantor's excited shout of
"Good boy!" to him upon his mas-
tering of a difficult Torah passage.
"Norman always had a big smile on
his face when people succeeded."
Cantor Rose was a humble man
with little ego about him, added
Castronova. "It was never the
Norman Rose Show. Cantor Rose
didn't want people to look at him on
the bimah; he wanted them to sing
with him."
Off The Bimah
Although Cantor Rose seemed
quiet, he had a playful side. In his
leisure time, a confident Cantor
Rose did crossword puzzles — in ink.
He was also a fine tennis player and
had been a table-tennis champion
in New York and Ohio. And the can-
