ALEPH Cantors include cantors who received a primary ordination (or a secondary ordination after having already been ordained, invested or certified as a cantor) under the guidance of Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, as well as cantors ordained by Bnai Or/Pnai Or Rabbinic Fellowship and the ALEPH Ordination Program(successor to Bnai Or/Pnai Or).

Cantors are listed under their year of smicha/ordination. The symbolnext to the names during a given year indicates that those cantors received smicha/ordinationduring the same celebration.
