Last week I came across a video by Naftali Herstik, backed by the Neimah Singers doing a choral arrangement of Shomer Yisrael. Videos like these "Save" my life every once in a while, breathing fresh clean air into my lungs and fueling my continued passion for life and music. Not bad for a few minutes on youtube!
Cantor Herstik's voice soars over the choir in a light Falsetto, adorning the beautiful choral arrangement that rests beneath it, uplifting all those who choose to immerse themselves in the music. One can only hope more congregations will adopt similar practices to uplift congregants.

A Cantor's Tale- Improvised Cantorial Choir
This morning I came across a video of the great Cantor Jacob Ben-Zion Mendelson from Temple Israel in White Planes in New York. In the middle of this video he illustrates how he can get any group of musically inclined people to be a cantorial choir and experience cantorial music in a meaningful way that doesn't put them to sleep. Give it a try! You may be surprised.
