On May 22 of this year, an all-star group of klezmer musicians and Jewish singers met at Beth El Synagogue Center in New Rochelle, NY under the auspices of Shoresh Halev Center for Jewish Music at Beth El to record 8 new compositions by klezmer giant Frank London. These brilliant new songs are meant to be sung while dancing hakafot on Simchat Torah. The recording session was held on the eve of Frank’s treatment for a rare and aggressive form of blood cancer and what ensued was a beautiful evening of spiritual uplift and close loving Jewish community. In hopes of sharing the power of this music, today we are premiering the first of these eight new songs: L’Adonai Ha’aretz which uses Psalm 24, the Psalm for Sunday, as a text. The text translates to “The earth is Adonai’s and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell in it. For God founded it upon the ocean, set it on the nether-streams.”
The full album “In The City of God” will be released

WE WILL DANCE AGAIN by Israeli film director Yariv Mozer (Ben-Gurion, Epilogue, The Devil's Confession—The Lost Eichmann Tapes, Golda's War Diaries). The film provides a powerful minute-by-minute retelling of the terror attack that took place at the Nova Music Festival on October 7th, 2023, from the sole perspective of the survivors. It gives testament to the strength of the human spirit in the face of tragedy. We are incredibly fortunate to have our film screened in select theaters across the US and wanted to invite you to experience this profoundly moving story of hope and resilience in a theater in Yonkers, NYC, and other local theaters. In order to check where the film is playing and to get tickets, please click here.
