Velvel Pasternak (October 1, 1933 – June 11, 2019)[1] was a musicologist, conductor, arranger, producer, and publisher specializing in Jewish music.[2][3] In 1981, the New York Times described him as "an expert on the music of the Hasidic sect and probably the largest publisher of Jewish music anywhere, although he was quick to note that publishing Jewish music is a business that attracts few rivals."[4]
