Yedid Nefesh • London School of Jewish Song

Clearly the version sung at the Queen's Shabbos table.

Check. This. Out.

OOH! OOH! WE'RE STREAMING LIVE AND LOVING IT!

A Gut Yohr • Piamentas (1991)

Morrocco meets Mezhibuzh. As the cover says, "A Piamenta Production". Lchaim! Tantz, tantz, tantz!

Yamit • Safam

AnonyMrs. and I recently read The Prime Ministers by Yehuda Avner, wherein this sad story is recapped.

From Wikipedia: The eviction of Israeli civilians and military from Yamit and the Sinai peninsula is considered as a precedent for Israel's policy of land for peace, exemplified in the Oslo Accords, the Gaza Disengagement, and the now-shelved Realignment plan.



When all is said and done we pray to know that peace will come one day and we'll remember.

Yomam Valayla • Lipa

Speaking of elections...

A Tuesday Tune to Talk about. I'm mostly tickled by the "Haine-haine hach" at :40. Sounds like Hiney-ho. Teehee.

Monday Matchup :: Siman Tov! • MBD! vs MBD!

MBD Hold On!

MBD Let My People Go!

Any way you like it, good luck today! :D

Mimkomcha (Carlebach) • Daniel Ahaviel & His Heavenly Violin

LIVE. RIGHT. NOW!

Malachim • Moshav Band

Between writing very well and rocking very hard, it can be forgotten that Moshav has a stellar album of all Hebrew songs called "Malachim - Angels".

The first stanza, translated rockily:


Angels are watching over you,
On your journeys out and in

The day before I left,
My father sat me down,
"I have to have a word with you
before you leave this town.
There are good people out there,
and some are bad and dim,
It doesn't matter who you walk with—
walk with Elokim"

Live and it sounds like it:

Bni • Gideon Levine

As Ber says: "It's on an album called 'The Best of the Best', by one of those B-listers whose just been in Jewish music forever." Gideon Levine. Who is Gideon Levine? Related to Dov Levine? Or to Showlom LaVine? This is he:

What a great song. No idea how it popped into my head, but glad it did.

Eftach Pi Bishira • Yehuda!

Do you already know that I have a special place in my ears and heart for Yehuda? He was quite original before it was popular and was thus quite popular originally. And he composes and arranges and plays his own stuff, I think. But, ya know, there's also This Tuesday Tune to discuss.

For demonstration purposes only. Image may not reflect what Yehuda! currently looks like.

Monday Matchup :: Dos Yiddishe Lid

One for the words and feeling...


One for the vocals... (Yudi Cohen)


And one for the range, if you can listen again... (YM Helfgott)


I've heard this song a thousand times and finally understand and feel it. Thank you Cantor Johnny Gluck!

Light the Way • Moshav

Was this full recording ever released? Good stuff! Light the Way this pre-Shabbos day, for the Day completely Shabbos, may it come today!

COME AND LISTEN!

Lullaby • Johann Brahms

What, you thought this was a simple nursery rhyme? Did you not realize this was a classical composition by one of the greatest Romantic Period composers [and I quote from Wikipedia]?

This is my dare: listen twice and don't catch yourself whistling or humming the tune for the rest of the day.

Ha'am Sheli • Lazer Lloyd & Friends

A simple announcement to the world, a simple reminder to ourselves. Beautiful.



And now they're going global.

Tzama Lecha Nafshi • Gad Elbaz

To Talk about on Tuesday...



What are you thoughts on vocals, music, video and project concept?
