Shula Jewish Holiday Songs (16) RE: Jewish Holiday Songs 05 Oct 97


Dear Abby,

Thanks for the suggestions. Will send to the local library directly. Agree that most of what I have encountered has been as un-thrilling as DDD, which is why I hoped for some new material to be posted here. If you have seen anything SPECIFIC to:

1. Rosh Hashanah
2. Yom Kippur (yes, this would be unlikely)
3. Sukkos
4. Shavuos (in Spring, but another musically under-represented holiday)

would be delighted to be pointed in its general direction.

Other holidays, e.g. Hannukkah, Purim, Pesach have quite a few associated songs, but songs about the four holidays listed above seem, at least to me, difficult to come by. Neither the back of several Siddurim I have consulted, nor extensive net-sweeps have dredged up much to suit the purpose, which, BTW, is the enrichment of the disgracefully banal repetoire of an all-Jewish GS troop. Anything you might care to add in the way of a title or an URL would be most appreciated.

Thank you for your trouble, and, if appropriate, L'Shana Tova!

Shula
