Adon Olam - Morris Sisters / Israel Edelson

Composed by Israel Edelson. If you can get past the very Reformish sound and the vocal performance, you'll find the music and overall composition to be quite beautiful. Watch here.

Men Darf Bahalten (Ropshitz) - Lipa Shmeltzer

From the star who brought Lion King to the Jewish stage...

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!!!!"

Shomrei - MBD & Shira

Good Shabbos!

Birkat Hamazon - Piamenta

Remember when we loved this song?!

Candles - HASC IV

All it takes is one small candle.

Make it a good day, and have one!

I'm a Hippopotamus - Marvelous Midos Machine

This post was supposed to be "Candles" from HASC IV.

But then, Shmuel told me that Mishpacha Magazine interviewed Abie Rotenberg who gave them two incredible answers to the question "What is you favorite Abie Rotenberg song?"

The first answer was: "I hope I haven't written it yet!" Awesome. The second was: "The answer I have given since the day it was written: I'm a hippopotamus."

Us too, Abie. Us too.

Yosef Mokir Shabbos - Avraham Fried

Gut Shabbos!!!

Who Am I? - Abie Rotenberg

From HASC's Unforgettable Moments. So I don't know offhand which year. "And he's strumming a make-believe guitah' that he doesn't have!"

My Fellow Jew - Ivrihim Frid

A great concert song!

Adir Ayom - Andy Statman Quartet

The album is called Between Heaven and Earth. But is it even? Or is it just Heaven?

He looks like this, for reference:

Somewhere Over the RainbowIsrael "IZ" Kamakawiwo'ole

What a purely beautiful rendition!
It's 2012.
Happy, joyous, giving, finding, shining 2012 to every single person who wants it.

More about the singer.

Mishehu Holech Tamid Iti Avraham Fried - Live in Israel

A cover of Ofra Haza's song and in my opinion a far better attempt at interpreting a beautiful Hebrew song. La'afukei mai? La'afukai kidi'amaran. Gut Shabbos!

Ofra's performance plus transliterated and translated lyrics, here.

A Brivele Der Mameh! - Dudu Fisher

Ahhh! So Jewish!

Shama Vatismach - Helfgott

Have you heard this Helfgott fellow? A year or so of quiet so he's not over-exposed, and then BAM! This is power!!!

Please excuse the previous post. It seems it's a Kitrug on Nochi. Doesn't happen to any other tracks, pooh, pooh, pooh.
