neutral  Tiago Moita (X): What a stupid question...you're right, of course you can! I suppose I was experiencing some cognitive dissonance. I was interpreting "run" as in "to run an internship program". I thought maybe there could be something as a cantorship in that sense.

cantor de sinagoga


Explanation:
Nas congregações judaicas, o chazan ou cantor é o membro responsável por conduzir os serviços diários religiosos da sinagoga e comandar as preces e os cânticos litúrgicos. O cantor desempenha seu papel ocupando uma posição destacada na sinagoga, semelhante a um púlpito (veja em http://www.chabad.org.br/biblioteca/artigos/sinagoga/home.ht...

Example sentence(s):
  • He was the congregation’s chazan (cantor). This is where the family’s cantorship comes from (http://www.centropa.org/biography/jozsef-faludi)
