About Kesher Talk

  • "Kesher" means "connection" in Hebrew. The banner image is the mosaic floor of a 6th c. synagogue in Jericho, showing a menorah flanked by a shofar and lulav; the inscription reads "Shalom Al Yisrael." (This synagogue was destroyed by Arab vandals a few years ago. The condition of the mosaic floor is unknown.)

Hallel and Shabbat music

shofarman.jpg Teshuva contemplations every day until Yom Kippur here. You can also find the link on the sidebar under "Yamim Noraim." Rabbi Amy Scheinerman's guide to teshuvah focuses this week on Responsibility.

In honor of the day, some Rosh Chodesh and Shabbat music for you. Since we sing Hallel on Rosh Chodesh, here
is Kehilat Hadar singing "Ma'ashiv L'Adonai" from Psalm 116. You can purchase the CD, "Pri Eytz Hadar", here. It's beautiful as well as a source of liturgical melodies, and I'm not saying that just because I am on it. (You can't hear me, I am one of the background singers. There were about 20 of us, just members of the community, we did one rehearsal and 3 takes.)

Keeping it on the Upper West Side, here
is the B'nai Jeshurun clergy singing "Yigdal," which ends the Friday night Shabbat service. (I believe this is a Sephardic melody.) You can purchase that CD, "With Every Breath", here. Again, this is a CD you can listen to or sing along with, not just mine for material.

Just wanted to let you know that I listened to a sample of "Pri Eytz Hadar," thought it was wonderful and bought a copy. I am very much looking forward to receiving it! Thank you for blogging about it.
