And/or am I likely to find a cantor to teach me the proper method?

First off, I would like to keep this on a factual, “I ask and someone answers” sort of level, and out of GD.

Some background: I am involved in a Sufi Order that uses Hebrew Scriptures in it’s Dhikr(Remembrance). English translations are acceptable, but the original language is strongly suggested.

In the current political climate, is a non-political, moderate, spiritually oriented muslim likely to find a cantor to teach some bits and pieces? Is there a particular sect of Judaism in which I should concentrate my searching?

I am mainly interested in The Psalms and Ten Commandments, and not any political or theological tensions. Barring a teacher, a decent recording will do.

Thank you,

Martin

They have a lot of cantoral recordings available on real-audio. I couldn’t find any Psalms (Tehilim) or the 10 commandments. I did find:
