Ahhhh, Yerushalayim! • Tzlil V'zemer/MBD

Literally, the only picture that comes up when you search "Tzlil V'Zemer." Is it my fault?

Same with "King of Jewish Music". Go figure.

Shameless.

Ohr Chodosh • Tzlil Vezemer with Avraham Fried

Israel, circa 1989.

Mi Kashem • Tzlil V'Zemer 5 // Let Us Grow

Piccolo, piccolo, what do you say?
I say: Bass and Cello, come out to play!
Bass and cello, bass and cello, what do you say?
I say: violin let's make Avi's day!

Contrast this—music, harmony, arrangements, Avrohom Rosenberg's restraint—with today's choirs and choirleaders. If you need to appreciate this more.

Shamor Vizachor • Tzlil V'zemer

Yudi Cohen with the Tzlil V'Zemer Boys Choir.

And we're LIVE!

Shabbos Medley • Tzlil V'Zemer III

It all started with MBD's "Uvyom Hashabbos" (Just One Shabbos, 1983) and my interest in comparing it to the Tzlil V'zemer version to hear who sang it better. In the end, the answer depends on what you mean by "better." MBD. But there's a whole lotta fun in this here Shabbos medley and I am glad to share it with you. See: Yudi Cohen, chemdas Yomim 3:46. Mwaaaah!

Good shabbos, friends and family!

Jews of Silence • Tzlil V'zemer 3

This post could be any of a half-dozen songs relevant to today. But it will be something that our Shliach Tzibbur was humming while wrapping up his Tallis. It is relevant in some sense to the just-passed Chanukah holiday, the present Hey Teves celebration and the court hearing that is happening today to stop the pending ban on traditional Bris Mila. "Is that really the plan?" you ask. "To ban Bris Mila?" Let's not find out. Let's not be silent, so we'll never be silenced.

Lichtalach • Tzlil V'zemer

This is the third, but never the last time that this song is posted (previously posted in 2008 and 2010). Because, really, "Aier faier is heilig un taier!"

Rock on, Jews! Be happy, be bright, be lightful!

Shomer Yisroel • Tzlil V'zemer

Volume 6. The let's-push-this-one-album-further album.

I dare you not to Ahhhhh! it.

Achas Medley - Tzlil Vzemer

Or Chadash - Tzlil V'zemer - 3

You know how when someone proposes something and then other people think the proposal is uninformed and just plain wrong? And then the first someone yells "Ooooh!! Look at those cute kids!" and then ducks for cover? Yeah?

Oooh! Listen to these cute kids!

K'ayol Taarog - Tzlil V'zemer

Cant get this song out of my head after seeing all the "Detroiter" counselors over the the Kinus weekend.

Be a Friend - Tzlil V'Zemer IV

Love is all we need. (Love is all we need. Love is all we need. Love is all we need. Love is all nee weed. What is all we weed? All we need is love. All we love is weed. Weed is all we need. All we need is weed.) All The Weed We Need.™

Jews of Silence - Tzlil V'Zemer

What?


Oh, okay. I get it. Silence, silence, Gezeiras Shavah. Very cute.

Heitivo - Tzlil V'Zemer

Growing up, I sang "Teeeeeaneck, Teeeeeeaneck, Choimois Yerushalayim..." Alas, those are not the words. This is Yudi Cohen-era stuff. Wolume four.

Aibishter - Tzlil V'Zemer

אילו פינו מלא שירה כים,
ולשונינו רינה כהמון גליו...
אין אנו מספיקים להודות לך, אויבערשטער!

Today's song is dedicated to the giant joys of the little things, including that crazy way in which birds don't fly into your face even when they fly right up to it.

Thank you Peretz, Levi, Shmuel and Shimshon and others for your sometimes humor and always humoring me, and thank you, you surprisingly respectable community of daily visitors who Ahhh, Ehh, and Huh with us.
