Ha'aleinu/L'artzeinu - Yosef Karduner - Mikdash Melech

Do you recognize the lyrics to "Ha'aleinu"? I don't. But it mellows along a beautiful thought that seems to be "Bring us up to Eretz Yisroel in order to make us worthy of its holiness." Which reminds me of the "vikuach" "bein knesses Yisroel viHakadosh Boruch Hu." ("Knesses Yisroel omeres: Hashiveinu vinashuva, vHakadosh Boruch Hu Omer: Shuvu Eilai viAshuva aleichem." Yochid v'Rabim, halacha k'Rabim.) Maybe I'm disunderstanding the words. The next song is the next track on the same trail and it works very well as such.

Niggunei Modzitz - Michalkel Chaim

Presumably Bentzion Shenker. Especially love the kid beginning 2:04. Power, baby!

Bombeleo Parody - Meni Ozeri

Hilarious! Thanks Shimshon for sending it to me.

NY State of Mind (Jazz)

V'eineinu - Avraham Fried - The Time Is Now

Membah this? ("Ay-ay-ay, aaaal yideeei al yidei Dovid...")

Happy B’day Avi!

מיט גרויס פארגעניגען וויל איך דיר ווינטשען א שנת הצלחה,

King in the Field - Isaac Bitton (Raya Mehemna)

The rendition of the י"ג עיקרים is better than the song. I think. (Saying that also allows for a repost on Rosh Chodesh Elul--when the song will be the main point--when it will be more timely.)

Ki'Ayol Taarog - Tzlil v'Zemer Vol. II

Bond/Andre Rieu - Victory

Even more than the music, the energy! Because, you see, the energy is what you see most in this clip.

Enjoy.

Reb Shlomo - Ani Maamin

L'Chu Neraneno - Itzhak Perlman - Fiddler's House

Or as you may recognize the melody: "Shim'u, shim'u rabbotai..." BEEEautiful clarinet then french horn then accordion then frenzied-everything. With the vocal intro by our Klezmaniac friend Sklamberg.

Good Shabbos!

Hashem S'fatai Tiftach! - Yosef Karduner - Mikdash Melech

National Week of Karduner? Maybe... What an awesome guitar-pickly-and-trumpet intro! Also a subtly spectacular bass riff throughout. Finally, the "Anu amecha" bit at the end. What a great, great, great vibe!



BeeTeeDub: total accident that my heart stopped on two Karduneskies in a row, and from the same album. He's just that good.

I know it's not a good idea, but I had the mental image of this song being the background to a "JK Wedding Dance" style thing. If you work in my office and would like to try it down our runway, let me know the time and place and we'll subwoof the hell outta this thing!

Oy Abba, Karveiiiini... Litoratecha! Limitzvotecha! Likdushatecha!
