composer of Hasidic melodies

#20

Ben Zion Shenker (1925–2016) was an American Hasidic composer and hazzan, associated with the Modzitz hasidic dynasty.
Shenker was born in the heyday of the American hazzan.
He became interested in the art as a child, and was performing on radio by his early teens.
Soon after, he became close to Rabbi Shaul Taub, the Holocaust-surviving Modzitz Grand Rabbi, who was known for his mystical Hasidic compositions.
He dedicated much of his life to recording and publishing the large stock of pre-war Modzitz songs, as well as Taub's post-war work.
Shenker created a music label, Neginah, for the purpose of recording those songs, and himself became a composer of hundreds Modzitz moded songs.
