[HANASHIR:8971] Re: R. Shmuel Brazil.

[Adrian Durlester <durleste...>]

R' Shmuel Brazil is the man behind "Regesh" and the 9, to date, releases of
his music. Shmuel released a new recording, Shuvu El Hashem, last year. He
is the author of many niggunim, many of which you have probably heard or
sung before.

Last I knew, he was the Rav at a small yeshiva in Far Rockaway, NY.

The "Shalom Aleichem" that Debbie Friedman made popular a while back was Rav
Shmuel's.
