This stage sure needed a lot of support to be able to sustain this high
amount of eregy coming from Ohad Moskowitz combined with Freilach "Big Band" and
Yedidim Choir, it was a night unlike any other....
Ari Taylor sings Mi Yitain (Who Shall Give) with Ohad and Shloime Gertner in concert, Jan
6th 2014. Accompanied by the incredible Asaf Flumendorf and his
orchestra.
Here are Ohad Moskowitz and Yonatan Shaynfeld with Birkath HaBanim (Blessing of the children), which is said by every parent over each child on the eve of Yom Kippur (okay, a little out of season).
Here's Ohad Moskowitz with Boee Kallah (Come enter Bride). The description makes it sound like it was filmed at a wedding, but I don't know anyone who has had a wedding with an orchestra like that. Maybe I've just been in Israel too long.
Thursday is the official day of the completion of the Daf Yomi (daily folio) cycle of the Babylonian Talmud - 2,711 folios over the course of approximately seven years and five months. And on Friday... we start again, God willing.
Here's Ohad Moskowitz with Ashreichem Talmidei Chachamim (You are happy, Torah scholars).
Here's Ohad Moskowitz with a Father's Prayer, a prayer that a father says for his daughter on her wedding day.
I am posting the words in Hebrew below - if someone wants to translate them into English in the comments, I will post it, but I don't have the time to translate as it is almost the Sabbath here.
Let's go to the videotape.
And here are the words:
מילים: זה השיר שלך ביתי אהובה זה היום שלך הגיע השעה הוא עומד ניצב, מוכן שם לקראתך בואי כלה
אז שלום וטוב שרק יהיה לכם והשיר שלך לעולם הוא יתנגן ותראו שלום וטוב בחייכם בואי בואי כלה
זה השיר שלך ילדה שלי קטנה זה הכל שלך מתחת לחופה הוא עומד נרגש מוכן שם לקראתך בואי בואי כלה
אז שלום וטוב שרק יהיה לכם והשיר שלך לעולם הוא יתנגן וה' הטוב הוא יברך אתכם בואי בואי כלה
The big break tonight was for Mrs. Carl and I to attend the wedding of the youngest daughter of very dear friends of ours... and since the husband is a Kohain, here's Ohad Moskowitz with Marei Kohain....
Here's Ohad Moskowitz with Birchas HaBanim (Blessing of the children). The text is actually the blessing that we give our children on the eve of Yom Kippur (in this house, it always seems to happen as we're racing out of the house for Kol Nidrei).
I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.
