Born in Jerusalem where he officiated as cantor at the Shirat Israel Synagogue for 60 years. He trained many of today's notable Israeli cantors, some of whom sang in the 'Shirat Israel' cantor choir that was established by Rivlin. Through his compositions published in his Shirei Shlomo, he tried to create a musical style that fuses the European and the Oriental traditions.
