[HANASHIR:14130] Re: Top Jewish Recordings

[Rabbi Richard Schachet <lvrabbi...>]

These suggestions for top songs are wonderful:  As difficult as it may be, 
perhaps someone, with permission, can put together a book, with music, of these 
CD's.  Or perhaps to make it quite not so thick, the best songs from each CD 
that are popular.

By the way-- My choice is Peace by Piece by S'fam
Debby's Dell CD or Carnegie CD
Cantor Wally's Fixin' the World (of course-- he is my son-in-law)
Craig's Newish Jewish
Not Hebrew, but I love Mandy Petenkin's Mama Lashon-  It's in Yiddish

  what a great idea.... to share with one another some of our own personal 
picks for great recordings.  Obviously mine is not a deifinitive list, but they 
are what i listen to most often lately. 

  1) Noam Katz's "Rakia"-  get in the car, put the volume on 9, and start 
driving-ANYWHERE! 
  2) Craig Parks' "Teen Shabbat Jam"--  all your favorite hava nashira melodies 
with craig's amazing arrangements. would you believe his band is comprised of 
his youth group...WOW!   
  3) Craig Taubman's "One Shabbat Morning" -  check out his "mi shebeirach." my 
congregation is loving it. 
  4) Danny Maseng's "Labor of Love"-  Danny's melodies are perfectly wed to the 
liturgy.... and what a voice! 
  5) Rick Recht's "Free to be the Jew in Me"-this groundbreaker is full of new 
classics for the religious school.  and it's lots of fun on your computer.     

  i would love to know what everyone else is listening to lately.  thanks, 
scott, for begginning this very usesful thread.
