Kutshers Country Club, New York
The "Rozhinke Retreat" is an effort to preserve and continue the great Cantorial art tradition of yesteryear. At the turn of the Millenium, we have seen many Jewish cultural revivals: Yiddish, Klezmer... and Hazzanut is due a revival of its own.
This retreat has its roots in the great Cantorial stylings of such renowned Hazzanim as Yossele Rosenblatt, David Kousevitsky, Zavel Kwartin and many others--with an emphasis not on historical examination, but rather living reproduction of an art form which is so intrinsically Jewish, and so passionate, so filled with pathos and sweetness, that it can only be described as "Rozhinke" --the sweet sound of raisins and almonds.

Alex Lubet writes to the Jewish-music list:
If you're anywhere near the Twin Cities, you may want to check out my
next gig 12/3, 730 pm, at Beth Jacob Synagogue in Mendota Heights, a
performance with my long-time collaborator, dancer/choreographer Judith
Brin-Ingber. I'll be doing my Ani Maamin and Maoz Tzur for guitar and
Shabbat Ha-Malkah for bass. Together, J and I will perform Hannelore
and our newest collaboration, Footnotes. Judith will perform Bari
Simone and Sarah, the latter featuring vocalist Amy (Yes, she's Jewish!)
Olson.
Most of the program is a tribute to Jewish women, a project-in-progress
that will eventually include exclusively original repertoire devoted to
our moms, sisters, partners, and female friends. Proud to say that the
dude of the duo came up with the idea (while watching a Seinfeld rerun
and getting tired of the way Jews are depicted in American pop culture
exclusively as something less than we are, a position I think hurts
women even more than men).

The St. Louis Circle of Jewish Music will present its annual Cantor Edward R. Fogel Memorial Concert this coming Sunday afternoon, March 28th at 4:00 pm at B'nai El Congregation, 11411 North Outer Forty Drive in suburban St. Louis. Entitled "A Night at the Opera," it will contain solos and ensemble pieces from opera, operetta and even the movie of the same name, performed by the cantors, soloists, keyboard players and other musicians from most of the city's Reform and Conservative congregations.
Ed Fogel (zl) was hazzan of Congregation Shaare Emeth in St. Louis for many years. Born in Uzbekistan, he grew up in Toronto, and as a teenager hitch-hiked to New York to attend Hebrew Union College. He was hired by Congregation Shaare Emeth after graduation and ordination, and later earned a master's degree from St. Louis Conservatory of Music. He was a founding member of the St. Louis Circle of Jewish Music, and a past president of both the Circle and the American Conference of Cantors. In his long career he proved a versatile cantor, accompanying himself on the guitar, known as a comedian and as a teacher, he concertized and recorded extensively. He survived cancer in 1998, but passed away in 2002. Soon afterward the St. Louis Circle of Jewish Music voted to dedicate its annual spring concert to his memory.

As we prepare to enter the Springtime, the season of pilgrimage and slaughtered lambs, the season of feasting and rejoicing, the season of energies unbridled and blood flowing loose in the veins, we of The Sway Machinery prepare to say a fond farewell to TOMER TZUR, who will be moving back to his native land of Israel at the end of the month. For me personally, NYC without Tomer is almost as hard to imagine as New York without graffiti on the subway cars and the 2nd Avenue Deli standing proudly on the corner of E 11th Street. These things, too, we have seen pass. But before I start pulling out my third hanky, I'll have you all know, there's a party starting and it won't stop 'till we all drop. This Sunday night at Zebulon, starting at an unwholesome hour and going until it's time to go, we will regal our friends and fans with our music and enjoy the company of my man Tomer Tzur in good old-fashioned style.

We can't wait to see you!!! We're seriously stomping these days, fresh from our Canadian adventure recording our upcoming album and generally rushing headlong into abysses of pleasure/memory/terror.
I am excited to announce the forthcoming release of my new CD, Yizkor: Music of Memory. It is an album of original settings of the prayers and psalms associated with Yizkor, the Jewish memorial service. It was recorded this past November with Hazzan Alberto Mizrahi and my group, The Afro-Semitic Experience. Although there have been a number of jazz artists who have written requiem and memorial pieces I am fairly certain that no one has ever written a jazz setting for the Yizkor service.
On August 20, at 7:00 p.m. we will be premiering the work at the historic Museum at Eldridge Street in the lower east side of Manhattan. This is going to be quite a concert. Hazzan Mizrahi will be coming to New York from his home in Chicago to join us for this performance. We will also be joined by our old friend, trumpeter Saskia Laroo, who is coming to New York from her home in Amsterdam. And Hazzan Jack Mendelson, my teacher and mentor in the ways of Hazzanut is also planning to sing some pieces with us and possibly a duet with Hazzan Mizrahi (he's coming from White Plains which is practically in New York!). I have the feeling that this is going to be a good night of music.
The address of the Museum at Eldridge Street is 12 Eldridge Street in New York City. If you are interested in tickets or for more information please call 212-219-0888 or visit their web site at www.eldridgestreet.org . I hope that you will join us for that performance.
The Prince of Kosher Gospel, Joshua Nelson, will perform during the 6p.m. Shabbat Services, Friday, October 17, 2008 at Congregation Rodeph Sholom, Manhattan. Cantor Rebecca Garfein, Senior Cantor of Congregation Rodeph Sholom along with Assistant Cantor, Shayna Peavey and the Rodeph Sholom Children’s Choir, will join Joshua Nelson in soulful song to kick off Rodeph Sholom’s annual Mitzvah Marathon Weekend.

Hankus Netsky Presents The Music of Morris Hollender
On Sunday, April 5th at 4PM Temple Beth Israel of Waltham will sponsor a concert featuring nigunim, klezmer tunes, cantorials, and Yiddish folk songs from the repertoire of Morris Hollender, the temple’s long-time baal t’file (lay cantor) and baal korey (Torah reader). The concert, organized by local musician, ethnomusicologist, and Temple member Hankus Netsky, will feature prominent local singers and the twenty-piece New England Conservatory Jewish Music Ensemble.
Originally from Carpato-Ruthenia, Morris Hollender’s father, uncle, and brothers were all renowned for their singing and their knowledge of nigunim (melodies) from local and legendary Hassidic rabbis and traditional cantors. A survivor of Auschwitz and a former resident of postwar Czechoslovakia, Mr. Hollender emigrated to America with his wife, Edith (also a survivor) in 1968. The April 5th concert is the result of Hankus Netsky’s ongoing work with the Mr. Hollender through the National Yiddish Book Center’s “Discovery Project,” an activist Jewish cultural recovery project that he directs. “It is extraordinary to have the opportunity to bring this precious Jewish musical legacy back to life, and to be able to pass these treasures on our students and to the general public,” says Netsky.
Temple Beth Israel is located at 25 Harvard St.
in Waltham, one block from Main St. on the 70 bus line. Tickets are $10 (a special $5 rate is available for Beth Israel members). The synagogue is fully handicapped accessible. For more information call 781 894 5146, or contact the temple at www.tbiwaltham.org. Group discounts are also available.

Free Synagogue of Flushing will present a one-of-a-kind musical event featuring the Kirtan Rabbi on Friday,
October 30, 8 PM, at 41-60 Kissena Boulevard (between Main Street and Sanford Ave.), Flushing, Queens. Admission is FREE.
Rabbi Andrew Hahn, known as the Kirtan Rabbi, weaves traditional Jewish liturgy and musical modes into the increasingly popular call-and-response form of singing called Kirtan. Originally from India, Kirtan is described as "a form of chant designed to heighten participation, communal feeling and ecstatic communion with the divine." Kirtan calls for full participation from the audience and promises to be an uplifting experience. Some free parking available adjacent to synagogue. For more information, call 718-961-0030 or visit www.freesynagogue.org.
Known for his stirring performance on Broadway as Jean Valjean in LES MISERABLE and as a world famous Israeli cantor, Dudu Fisher brings an exciting and visually stunning show to BostonĂąÂÂs Symphony Hall (303 Mass. Avenue) on Sunday, November 1, at 7:30 PM. Tickets are $45-75 and can be purchased at www.bso.org or by calling 888.266.1200.
Based on his highly successful PBS special, IN CONCERT FROM ISRAEL, Fisher will take the audience on an inspired journey connecting his talent as a Broadway performer, cantor, and contemporary artist with music and stories that celebrate the beauty of Israel's landscape, culture and people.
Fisher has performed on the stages of Broadway, the West End in London, Israel, and throughout the world, including singing with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Maestro Zubin Mehta, recording an album of show tunes with the London Symphony Orchestra, and performing for Britain's Royal family and Bill and Hillary Clinton. He is the only Broadway performer to receive a Broadway contract allowing him to observe the Jewish Sabbath by not performing on Friday evenings and Saturday matinees, a recognition of his talent and dedication to the role and a constant source of pride and accomplishment in his career.
Fisher'ÂÂs Fall 2009 North American Tour is a celebration of the PBS television special that capitalizes on his incredible vocal and artistic range and features a repertoire that goes well beyond the television show. It tells the story of a cantor who finds success on the stages of Broadway, but who never forgets his home or the musical landscape of Israel. The tour concludes with shows in Toronto on November 5 and in Baltimore on November 7.

The service will also feature the Children’s Choir for grades 2-8 and the Jr. Jr. Choir, which is for children from the pre-kindergarten, kindergarten and first grades.
Cantor Garfein will be joined by Rodeph Sholom’s Associate Cantor, Shayna De Lowe and Cantorial-Intern, Melanie Cooperman. Accompanying the cantors and choirs will be Rodeph Sholom’s organist, J. David Williams. Joining Mr. Williams will be: John Hadfield, percussion, Susan Rotholz, flute, Eliot Bailen, guitar and cello and Daniel Freeman, acoustic and electric bass.
The service is free of charge and open to the entire community.

With the encouragement of my friend, Rabbi Dan Ain, I have made a new record of music--the new album, entitled Kol Nidre, is inspired by the high holiday liturgy of the Rosh Hashana and Yom Kipur services we've been leading together for the last five years--the album features Shoko Nagai and John Bollinger--it sounds really nice. The album is coming out in October, but this Friday night we'll be premiering a music video for one of the pieces that was directed by our dear friend Tatiana McCabe -- the video is lovely--it animates paintings by the reonwned artist Archie Rand. Shoko and I will play a few pieces from the record and Dan and Mike Neuhaus (editor of Relix Magazine) will have a discussion about the record...also refreshments will be served.

"Sounds from Shylock's Venice" @ Concerts d'ĂtĂ© Ă St. Germain festival, featuring Enrico Fink
Sunday August 21, 18:30
Eglise St. Germain
Rue des Granges 11
Geneva, Switzerland
FREE
Our program commemorates the 500 year anniversary of the founding of the Venice Ghetto and the 400 years since Shakespeare's death. It's a fun program that combines Jewish repertoire: songs and liturgy in Yiddish, Hebrew, Italian, Jewish-Spanish (and Catalan!) with 'mainstream' songs and dances from 16th century Venice; the whole rounded off with texts drawn from Leon Modena's autobiography and legal documents of the era.

I am overjoyed to share with you that the healing project I've been working on for the past few years—Under the Wings of Rafa'el: Blessings, Songs, and Explorations for a Healing Journey—is now complete! This project that began as a set of impromptu materials for a congregant undergoing chemotherapy, has developed into a small book with accompanying recordings (or recordings accompanied by a small book …). It includes 12 prayers focused on the healing of body and spirit, with explorations around the text of each prayer in the form of contemplations, meditations, visualizations, and artistic exercises, and is designed to be used in a variety of ways by people at different stages of emotional and physical healing, and with groups as well as individuals.
If you are able, I would dearly love you to join me at the launch event:
Sunday, September 18, 2016, 4-6pm
Congregation Sha'ar Zahav,
290 Dolores,
San Francisco, CA
We'll sing together, do some of the readings/artistic exercises from the book together, and have a good nosh.
This project has been made possible due to the extreme generosity and support of the Lloyd Symington Foundation, and also to all of you who taught, mentored, supported, nurtured, nourished, and helped in a myriad of ways. Thank you, thank you, thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
