Traditional Jewish music

Monday, April 5th, 2010

Traditional jewish Yemenite music comprised of prayers, stories and chants sung together with drums or clapping.
It is sung before the ceremony of havdalah, religious ceremony that marks the symbolic end of Shabbat or holidays, and ushers in the new week.

Translation from hebrew: : My soul longs for the candle and the spices. If only you would pour me a cup of wine for Havdalah. O angels high, pave a way for me, clear the path for the bewildered and open the gates that I may enter, My heart yearning, I shall lift up my eyes to g-d, who provides for my needs day and night.

The Chanukah Song (Part 3)

Thursday, March 18th, 2010

An UNOFFICIAL Music Video for Adam Sandler’s Chanukah Song (Part 3-edited version)

Song: The Chanukah Song (Part 3) [Movie Version}
Artist: Adam Sandler
Album: Eight Crazy Nights: Soundtrack

Lyrics:
Put on your yamulke
It’s time for Chanukah (sounds good guys)
Once again it’s Onakah
The miracle of Chanukah. (give it up for the Drei Dels)
Chanukah is the festival of lights.
One day of presents?
Hell no, We get eight crazy nights.
But if you still feel like the only kid in town without a Christmas tree
I guess my first two songs didn’t do it for you
So here comes number three!
Ross and Phoebe from “Friends” say the Chanukah blessing.
So does Lenny’s pal Squiggy and “Will & Grace”’s Debra Messing.
Melissa Gilbert and Michael Landon never mixed meat with dairy.
Maybe they should have called that show “Little Kosher House on the Prairie.”
We got Jerry Lewis, Ben Stiller and Jack Black.
Tom Arnold converted to judaism, but you guys can have him back!
(Just kidding Tommy!)
We may not get to kiss underneath the mistletoe
But we can do it all night long with Deuce Bigalow! (I’m jewish!)
Oh My God! Sweet Robbie Schneider is here!
Put on the yamukah
Here comes Chanukah
The guy in Willie Nelson’s band who plays harmonica
Celebrates Chanukah.
Oooo, good job Schneider
Osama bin Laden–(Booo!)–not a big fan of the Jews.
Well, maybe that’s because he lost a figure skating match to gold medalist
Sarah Hughes, her mama’s Jewish!
Houdini and David Blaine escaped straightjackets with such precision.
But the one thing they could not get out of
Their painful circumcision.
As for Half-Jewish actors, Sean Penn is quite the great one,
And Marlon Brando’s not a Jew at all,
but it looks to me like he ate one
There’s Lou Reed, Perry Ferrell, Beck and Paula Abdul.
Joey Ramone invented punk rock music
But first came Hebrew school.
Natalie Portmanukah
It’s time to celebrate Chanukah.
I hope I get an Abrtronicah,
on this joyful, toyful Chanukah.
So get a high colonicah
And soil your long johnukahs
If you really really wantukah.
Have a happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy
Happy Chan-u-kah!

I am in no way related to Adam Sandler, Eight Crazy Nights, or Warner Brothers. This was created by me for entertainment purposes only.

The Jewish-Arab Peace Song (w/ English subtitles) Submitted by Shamai Leibowitz

Thursday, March 18th, 2010

Shamai Leibowitz | How do you make this song a reality? To be sure, singing songs about peace will not bring peace. But reading about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, visiting the conflict area and talking to the people on the ground are concrete steps that can make a difference.
In this song, jewish-Israeli and Palestinian singers and musicians joined together to perform the Hebrew-Arabic song “Hevenu Shalom Aleinu” (We Brought Peace Upon Us) – “Ma Ana Ajmal Min Salam” (There is Nothing More Beautiful Than Peace). Sung in both Hebrew and Arabic, this Middle Eastern, Sepharadic-style, jazzy and inspiring song challenges us to rise above the propaganda, renounce hatred, supremacy, violence, and terrorism, and “rock the boat” until Israelis and Palestinians understand there is only one path to security and peace, and that is through sharing the land and upholding the human rights of all inhabitants of the Holy Land.

This song is dedicated to the thousands of ordinary people around the world, including many Jews, who are helping to promote human rights, equality and justice.

Thank you for listening! Shamai Leibowitz

PERFORMERS (in order of appearance):
Israeli Jews:
Leah Shabat
Shlomo Gronich
