Here's Yaakov Shwekey with v'Haarev Nah (Make Your Torah sweet to us), a prayer asking that we derive enjoyment from learning Torah which is part of the daily preliminary morning service.
Let's go to the videotape.
A gutten nitelnacht tzum alles un tzum alles a gutte nacht. (And if you don't understand that, you probably also don't know why I chose this song for this evening).
Mrs. Carl and I spent tonight at a party at our son's yeshiva in honor of their finishing an entire tractate of the Talmud.
In honor of the occasion, here's Yaakov Shwekey with Veha'arev (And Make the words of Your Torah sweet in our mouths) from the prayer we say each morning over our daily Torah study.
Let's go to the videotape. There's an important message after the videotape.
Monday night after sundown will be the 17th day of Tamuz, which is the beginning of the three-week mourning period for the Temples' destruction, during which we do not listen to music. As such, there will be no more overnight music videos until the night of the 11th of Av, which is the night between the 10th and the 11th of August.
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.
