Cantors Concert at Temple Emanu El

Earlier this year, my wife Laurel Barr, a Cantor at Temple Emanu El in Orange Village, Ohio, put together this amazing concert. Surrounded by an outstanding talent and the remarkable voices of four great cantors, they sang and uplifted the spirit of the congregation. It is with great personal pride that I’d like to share with you some of the musical gems I recorded. Also demonstrating how easily can these special moments get captured with the right technology and be placed on your sites and blogs for others to enjoy. So here are five videos for your enjoyment:

High Holidays – Music Selection (1 – 5)

I love the time of year of the Jewish High Holidays. I find it to be a remarkable close time with family, a time to reflect, for inspirational search, remembering loved ones and committing to renewed excellence and to making this a better place.

Many of you know that I love to brag about my wife who has a remarkable voice and is the cantor at Temple Emanu El in Orange Village, Ohio. I have decide to share with you some of my favorite music selections from the most recent services of Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur. Hope you find this to be as moving spiritually as I do.

Happy New Year

My wife Laurel who is a Cantor at Temple Emanuel in Cleveland, Ohio, put together an amazing concert back on November 10, 2007. You should have been there as it was an amazing night. It is with tremendous pride and love that I have for her, and with the hope that you too may enjoy this concert, that I would like to share it with you. I uploaded the concert in segments to Youtube (this is the way they allow it.) The segments are organized in chronological order (top to bottom) from beginning to end. Enjoy:

Reporting from Israel: December 15

After a relaxing Friday with my family in Jerusalem, I drove today to Haifa to see one of my closest and best friends that I grew up with in Israel. I spent the day with Eitan, his amazing family and several friends he invited. We greatly enjoyed our time together and the great authentic food that his wife Ronit prepared. We all got to share some old stories and even some new ones.

As we started to reminisce about the time we were playing together in a band (over 30 years ago) Eitan said: “why won’t we go downstairs and have a little jam session?” His son built a beautiful recording studio in his house where we all escaped to for the next several hours and really brought out some great memories.

The fingers did not move as fast, but we still sounded pretty good. That’s me on guitar and my friend Eitan on the drums:
