Reverend Cantor Victor I. Beck started his professional singing career at the age of eight. He is a classically trained opera tenor, who has sung for audiences from New York's "Borcht Belt" hotels, to Carnegie Hall, Bruno Walter Hall, and Damrosch Park at Lincoln Center in New York City. In addition to performing, Cantor Beck is a composer of original music, exploring the "American Jewish experience." One of his songs, "Never Forget Me," written about the Holocaust, has been accepted into the archives of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. Having worked in broadcasting while going to college, and then working for ABC Network Radio News in the late 1960s gave Cantor Beck an excellent understanding of the broadcast industry. For more than five years during the 1990s, he produced, directed and hosted the nationally syndicated radio show "Ask The Rabbi." This radio show was also one of the first broadcasts to ever be regularly simulcast over the internet. Although his radio show is no longer in production, Beck is still frequently called upon as a guest for his insights and thoughts on other current radio shows from around the country and even Japan. Beck is the Cantor at Temple B'nai Sholom in Rockville Center, New York. He has performed in concerts worldwide as a tenor, with a repertoire that includes Cantorial, Yiddish, Israeli, Neapolitan Folk songs, as well as Italian, French and German opera and lieder. On 17 January, 2005, Beck as President of The Jewish Ministers Cantors Association of America and Canada, produced, directed and sang in the Great Synagogue of Rome in an ecumenical cantorial concert that was televised throughout Italy. This concert was designed to help build bridges of understanding with other religions, and Vatican officials were among those in attendance. He has been involved with organizing, producing, directing and performing in concerts for Meir Panim soup kitchens in Israel, in campaigns for "Feed the Hungry Children" [http://www.mifalchaim.org/image/news/2004/news5_ext_e.htm], written up in the Five Towns Jewish Times (of December 12, 2003 page 19), and The Jewish Week (of 2003 editions: November 14 page 27, November 7 page 12, October 31 page 27, October 24 page 14, and October 10 page 18). He has just recently been named as the U.S. Director of Special Events and Programs for Meir Panim, a project to which he donates a good deal of his time and resources. Beck's singing credits include a musical album produced by him for The Jewish Ministers Cantors Association of America, Inc. "The 2003 Cantors Concert" - recorded live March 4, 2003. He has also recorded "Traditions New and Old" which is comprised predominantly of his original music, and "The Dawn of Time" a compilation of High Holy Days music recorded with his volunteer choir. He can also be heard on the album "The Three Cantors Sing".

On Tuesday July 17, 2001, several hundred family members and friends of those who perished on the ill fated TWA Flight 800 gathered together with Clergy, Politicians and other community leaders at Smith Point State Park, New York for a Fifth Anniversary Memorial Service. Clergy members from many faiths and community leaders, joined together with dignity and strength to present a program which remembered those who died, and attempted to promote healing and peace for those who lost either family members or friends. Among the many clergy, representing various denominations, Cantor Beck was the only Jewish clergy member invited by the organizers to represent the Jewish community. He did so by singing two prayers during the program.

On 18 January, 2005 Cantor Beck, one of the leaders of a group of 141 Jewish clergy from around the world met with Pope John Paul II in Clementine Hall of the Apostolic Palace, to thank the Pontiff for all he had done for the Jewish People and for the State of Israel in what would be the Pope's final official public meeting. Cantor Beck, past president of The Jewish Ministers Cantors Association of America, along with twelve other Cantors from that organization sang a Hebrew blessing to the Pope - "Shehecheyanu" (normally said on special occasions).
