**Sim Shalom - a prayer for peace. Coming out of Rosh Hodesh Heshvan, the real work begins. As the days get shorter and the darkness of our days feels more present than ever, may we be the ones to usher in a world of shalom, tova, u’vracha - peace, goodness, and blessing. ********************* Sim Shalom - from “Songs from the Beit Midrash”, out on all platforms. 🎥 @upperdeck_film 🎶 composed by @debsmintz and @yoshiefruchter 🔗 Songs from the Beit Midrash - FYC link in bio

📣Honored to share that Songs from the Beit Midrash is on this year’s @grammys ballot in the brand new Best Traditional Folk Album category! This new category carves out space for music drawn from inherited folk traditions - lifting up the role song plays as a language for communicating cultural heritage and anchoring communal connection. I am grateful to share this music more widely with the @recordingacademy community, and bring the sounds of Jewish song, prayer, and creative energy into the ears of artists and creators passionate about song as a vehicle of communal expression! Thank you to the @grammys and @recordingacademy for creating this space to build musical connections, to the team who worked together to put this album out, to @hadarinstitute and our label Rising Song Records, and to all who are listening and voting this season!

The gates are still open as Sukkot approaches. Let’s walk through with the courage to sing out that which is most internally vulnerable - our innermost prayers. Eileh Hamdah Libi - these are the yearnings of my heart. ********************* Eileh Hamdah Libi - from “Songs from the Beit Midrash”, out on all platforms. 🔗FYC link in bio! 🎥 @upperdeck_film 🎶 composed by @debsmintz and @yoshiefruchter

Matir Asurim is now streaming wherever you listen to music. What is your favorite paragraph from the prayerbook? Which paragraph perplexes you the most? The second paragraph of the Amidah, known as the Gevurot (mights) paragraph, delights and challenges me. What is your relationship with this prayer? I hope this new melody helps you connect with the text and with divine power in new ways. Text: מְחַיֶּה מֵתִים בְּרַחֲמִים רַבִּים Mekhayei meytim berakhamim rabim, [G-d], You invigorate bodies with mercy’s flow, סומֵךְ נופְלִים וְרופֵא חולִים somekh noflim verofeh kholim, You support us in falling. You heal us in sickness. וּמַתִּיר אֲסוּרִים, וּמְקַיֵּם אֱמוּנָתו לִישֵׁנֵי עָפָר umatir asurim, umekayem emunato lisheyney afar. You free us from compulsion. You keep faith with those now dead. מִי כָמוךָ בַּעַל גְּבוּרות Mi khamokha, ba’al gevurot? In your might, no one can compare with You. וּמִי דומֶה לָּךְ, מֶלֶךְ מֵמִית וּמְחַיֶּה וּמַצְמִיחַ יְשׁוּעָה Umi domeh lakh, melekh meymeet umekhayey umatzmiakh yeshu’a? You deal out life and death. Yet in all this, You make salvation grow. -lyrics from the Amidah prayer, interpretive translation by Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi. This track was generously sponsored by Susan and Marc Sacks. Credits: Eitan Kantor - vocals, violin, songwriting Coleen Dieker - vocals, violin Aly Halpert - vocals Ariel Wyner - vocals, mandolin Jack Leopold - vocals Steven Cohen - acoustic guitar Doron Levary - bass guitar Mark Levy - drums Aidan Roberts - tracking, mixing, mastering Upperdeck Film - videography Nireh Or - album art Recorded at @headenver in Denver, Colorado. #jewishmusic #hebrew #prayer #mercy
