We welcome you to another episode of the Sameach Music Podcast. This is our 18th show, our Chai episode. Dov and I went into the studio yesterday and put together a fun show featuring 8 songs in total. We have new preview music from the upcoming Siman Tov, Mazel Tov album from Sameach Music Productions.

We play all new music from Yacov Young, Shlomo Katz, Yossi and Yerachmiel and Sruli Ginsberg. We play a show favorite and a special request. We have news on albums still in the works, concert information for 8th Day, Menucha and Simply Tsfat. There is also a free CD giveaway contest on this weeks episode.

We also received some requests to include the song listing in the show notes. The reason we stopped including them was people said it took away from the show knowing what was coming next always. So for those who want the actual song list, I have taken a picture of the show list Dov and I work off of. You can see that right here.

If you want to download the show right click here.

So tune in, download, plug in play, sit back and relax and enjoy 41 minutes of FREE Sameach Music.

Lev Tahor


Since Sefirah has begun I have received quite a few e-mails asking for the lyrics to the song Deaf Man In The Shteeble. This song is on Lev Tahor's 3rd album, which was their 2nd acappella album.
 
You can hear samples from this album online at JewishJukebox.com

Lyrics:
 
Just the deaf man in the Shteeble and to everyone's surprise,
He comes to Shul each Shabbos, and he prays with tear filled eyes,
His son is the Chazzan, but his voice he's never heard.
But he sits there enjoying every word.
 
He watches every motion every gesture that he makes,
And he stays till the very end however long it takes.
And when the Davening is over, he's the first to reach his son,
And the deaf man in the Shteeble says well done.
Now it's right before Yom Kippur, in the Shteeble there is fear
They want to start Kol Nidre but the Chazzan's still not there.
The Shul is filled with people, as the night begins to fall,
But the deaf mans chair stands empty by the wall.
 
Then suddenly the Chazzan, he comes rushing through the door.
He's wearing his white Chazzan's hat he's never worn before.
He pauses for a moment at his fathers empty chair, and quietly he wipes away a tear.
 
Then he runs up to the Beema, for there's no time left to waste.
And half the Shul can hear the rabbi ask "how come so late?"
"Oh just getting ready for Yom Kippur" is all he'd say,
"But now, I'm going up to pray"
And he takes his place surrounded by the holy torah ring,
And in a voice so beautiful he beings to sing,
Oh every heart was broken, oh and every soul burned bright,
From his Kol Nidre that Yom Kippur night.
 
And when he finished Davening, the rabbi asked to tell,
What was it he was thinking of that made him sing so well.
"Well you know my dad was deaf" he said, "last night he passed away.
It's the first time that my father's heard me pray"
And he takes his place surrounded by the holy Torah ring,
And in a voice so beautiful he begins to sing.
Oh every heart was broken, oh and every soul burned bright,
From his Kol Nidre that Yom Yippur night.
 
You can find out more about LevTahor at their new web address.

About a month ago I was asked to write an article on Jewish music for the JE Magazine. I've been getting some very nice feedback and some voicemail's which I'll share on the next podcast.
 
I started getting a lot of requests to publish the article online so that other people can read it. Thank you to Ozer Babad and Yossi Zweig of the JE Magazine for asking me to write this, it was a lot of fun. Incidentally, if it works out Yossi will be on the next podcast to discuss the JE Magazine. So look out for that, as well as other surprises.
 
You can download the article here available as a PDF.
 
UPDATE: June 14th, 2006.

I have closed and removed the comments from this posting. The reason for this is that I have collected the comments you have left and plan on writing a second article on this topic using your suggestions as well as some other songs I had left out.

If you would still like to comment or email me a suggestion for the next article please send it to

JE caught up with the famous Abie Rotenberg to “talk some music�.

 

JE: So Mr. Rotenberg, what was the first album your songs were used on?

AR: The album was called Klei Zemer

 

JE: What instruments do you play?

AR: I play piano and guitar

 

JE: When did you start playing?

AR: As a child I took piano lessons, and guitar I just picked up myself.

 

JE: Lots of people take piano lessons but that doesn’t necessarily mean that they play when the lessons are over.

AR: Actually, I stopped playing at the age of 10. But I always enjoyed zemiros and songs, plus I can carry a tune and do harmony.

 

JE: So how did you get involved in Jewish music now that you can play and sing?

AR: Well I grew up with people who eventually put out albums. Eli Teitelbaum who put out the first Pirchei Boys Choir was a friend. Additionally, I was in the same yeshiva as Rabbi Boruch Chait and Leibel Scharfman. You also have to keep in mind that Jewish music wasn’t as big as it is today. There were singers like Carlbach and R’ Benzion Shenker, Neginah was getting started, and there were not too many bands either. The fact that there was so little out there at that time meant that if you could play an instrument, carry a tune, and sing harmony, you were Jewish music.

 

JE: What was the first song you ever used?

AR: That would be Ki Lecha on Klei Zemer

 

JE: So how does one go from D’veikus, Journeys, Pirchei etc. to making The Marvelous Middos Machine?

AR: Well, when you have children in the house to inspire you and a concept comes into your head, you expand it. Those songs, that were all original, raised awareness of different traits inherent in each child. It was a very educative tool. I enjoyed making them.

 

JE: So why did The Marvelous Middos Machine Series stop at Volume 3?

AR: Well, my kids grew up and of course there aren’t 613 middos, so we pretty much covered all the main category of middos.

 

JE: So is there a possible 4th in the future?

AR: I honestly don’t know. There might be. I have no plans to make a fourth. But, I didn’t envision putting out 3 from the beginning. There might be a fourth that will look like it continued from the third, where you won’t know that there was a 20-year gap.

 

JE: So as a child, where did you grow up?

AR: I grew up in Queens.

 

JE: There were many years between Journeys 3 and 4. Did the inspiration for the album take you all that time or were you busy composing songs for other albums during that time?

AR: Well to be honest, music is not my main parnossah. B�H I have a job that keeps me busy at times. When inspiration comes to me, I work with it. For instance, on Journeys 4, I had all 9 songs and was waiting for the 10th, when I came up with Mama Rachel. It could have been any other song, but that’s how it turned out.

 

JE: So what would you say is harder, composing a tune or writing lyrics to a song?

AR:  For me personally? Writing lyrics is more difficult. Music is an open field. You can string together a few notes and have a nice tune. On the other hand, getting words that have meaning is very complex, because even though the music speaks to you, it’s the words that inspire you.

 

JE: Some examples would include: Mama Rachel, The Man From Vilna and Shema Yisroel?

AR: Exactly. Those tunes are meaningful and mournful. They pull at the heart. The words, on the other hand, make them so much more than a story, a feeling.

 

JE: What is your opinion of Jewish music now, in the year 2005?

AR: We are in galus and music is being influenced by the music of the nations. The style now is more “poppy�, with less of the Yiddish taam that it used to have; yet it still inspires. Music is first and foremost to inspire Yidden. It can also be entertaining, but it should be meaningful.

 

JE: Do you still sell songs or are you just working mainly on your own projects?

AR: Well, I still have some songs floating around that I give to people. However, the best songs I really like to keep for myself (chuckles).

 

JE: Once you sell a song, do you have a say in how it’s put together, in the arrangements?

AR: A lot of the songs that are being bought are original, so I am involved.  For example, Kol Zimra had a lot of my old songs, along with some new. Usually, you have to hope for the best and see if they want your opinion.

 

JE:  What is your view on music and dancing at weddings today?

AR: The music is for sure more sophisticated. I mean just look at the cords that the guitar player is using. The bochurim and parents dance better too. I don’t know if it’s from the music, but times change and so do the dance moves. Twenty years back it was popular to dance in a circle and the horas were not so complicated. Nowadays they are. I think that back then when we were mesameach a chaver at a wedding, we danced our hardest and best. The same holds true today.

 

JE: Do you sing by weddings?

AR: Yes. I have sung by many weddings, though never for pay and never by the chupah. I like to watch the chupah. It’s a very special moment and I would rather be an observer. I only sing for friends and family.

 

JE: So do people ask you to write songs for their wedding?

AR: Yes, they do, and some of the songs end up becoming famous. Mi Adir was written for my daughter’s wedding, and Yehi Shalom was written for a friend.

 

JE: In your singing career have you traveled a lot because of your singing career?

AR: Yes. I have been to London, Los Angeles, the West Coast, Dallas, and Eretz Yisroel amongst a few. You have to sing different songs to cater to different crowds, but in the end Jews are Jews and they get inspired through music.
 

Thank you for your time. It was really nice being able to speak to someone who has been in the industry a while, whose singing is soul-ly to be mesameach others with his beautiful and heartfelt niggunim.
