Velvel Pasternak is one of the world's foremost experts on Jewish music. He is an expert on the music of the Hasidic sect and probably the largest publisher of Jewish music anywhere, although he is quick to note that publishing Jewish music is a business that attracts few rivals.[1] The founder of Tara Publications, he has been responsible for the publication of 26 recordings and over 150 books of Jewish music since 1971, spanning the gamut of Israeli, Yiddish, Ladino, Cantorial, Hassidic and Holocaust Music.[2] He is a regular lecturer on the Music of the Hassidim.
