Gut Chodesh!

Vehar'einu - Shlomo Carlebach

After Kabbolas Shabbos, we stopped into CAY as we do, to catch the last few notes of this sing-ular service. Chezzi said kaddish and then "Mizmor Lidovid" before Aleinu. To this tune.

It.

Dug.

In

But by Shabbos morning I could no longer remember the tune.

So on motza'ei Shabbos, after maariv and Living Torah, I stopped into CAY as I do, to catch a last dance with this Havdala Jam. And I grabbed Chezzi and I drew him in and I yelled into his ear while his eyes were very closed: "WHAT WAS THE TUNE YOU USED FOR MIZMOR LIDOVID??????"

"SHLOMO'S 'VIHAR'EINU! THERE'S ONLY ONE!!!!"

Keli Atah | Haneiros Halalu(Avraham Fried "Hupp Cossack")

For Rosh Chodesh:

For Chanukah:

Thank you excellent people who joined the high, high, kumzitz last night! And to my partner, friend and harmony. For many particular things and all of them together.

Keli Atah - Avraham Fried - "Hallel"

By mentschlich request. Happy chanukah! Happy chodesh! I quite don't like most of this song, but for the tenuah "Ki, ki lecha..."

Mekimi - Yosef Karduner

Moe was right.

Just beautiful.

Besides, I asked R' Yosef to play "Banai" from Nochi Krohn (see Nochi Krohn label, right) and he hesitated for second, unsure about which song I was referencing. Then he went "Oh! That was a beautiful song, wasn't it? I've never played it in concert. I don't know how it goes..." Or something. Yeah, Yosef, it really, really was.

Min Hameitzar - Yosef Karduner

Awesome concert/Kumzitz/Farbrengen last night! This was a crowd favorite.

Oy Vey, Iz Far Zei... - Lipa

אוי וויי איז פאר זיי...א טויבין יאטשמיך האבען זיי!
אלוקינו בשמים, אונזער גאט* אין הימעל, כל אשר חפץ עשה, וואס ער ווילט טוט ער...

The Other Keli Atah - Precise Melodies of the Chabad Rebbes

Keli Atah, Elokai. I am Yours in pain, You are mine in kindness. Happy content. Joy. Content. Hodu. Yodu. Hallel. Adar. Too.

The musicians on this recording are a Russian-born husband/wife team of a classically-trained violinist and pianist living in Israel. The song they here play is called Keli Atah. I don't know its origins. Do you?

Min Hameitzar - Yeedle (MBD)

Long time no post! Happy Chodesh.

Hashem Zichoronu Yivarech - Yossele Rosenblatt

Ki Lecha - Avraham Fried

This is off a recording marked "Kulam Sharim Hallel", which has tracks by Fried, Fertig and Farginigen. And ben David and Dov Levine Who We Love. And others. I'm placing it in the early eighties but I have no idea. Anyone?
