[HANASHIR:15607] To God's Ear: Music and Song of the Jewish Liturgy

[Steve Meltzer <steve...>]

Chevrei --

Saw this on the JTS website and thought you might be interested; to see the full
page, go to http://www.jtsa.edu/about/communications/tvradio/togodsear.shtml.

I included only the TV stations of communities who still have an opportunity to
watch the program.  Sadly, this program was not aired (as of yet) in Boston, New
York, Chicago, Seattle or Washington, DC  -- all cities with significantly sized
Jewish communities.

If any of who have seen this program would care to share you thoughts, it would 
be
much appreciated.  Ditto to those of you still have any opportunity to see the
program (and possibly tape it for those of us who have not had the opportunity 
to
see it).


B'shalom,

To God's Ear: Music and Song of the Jewish Liturgy


There are halls in heaven that open only to the voice of song.
?The Zohar

This documentary provides an inspiring look at the impact of sacred music. A 
rich
tapestry of traditional liturgical prayer and contemporary lyrical renditions 
are
interwoven with commentary by scholars and lay people. Colorful scenes, from a
congregational choir practice to a vibrant morning Shaharit service at a
children's summer camp, offer a glimpse into experiential prayer.

Other highlights include:
A cantorial student rehearsing the solemn Kol Nidre prayer sung on Yom Kippur
A congregant recounting the heart-wrenching story of a rabbi who rescued Jewish
children in hiding from the Holocaust by singing out the Shema to them
Musician and founder of the Klezmatics, Frank London, performing a captivating
rendition of an ancient cantorial melody
Featuring the students and faculty of JTS's H.L. Miller Cantorial School ...To
God's Ear is a celebration of the power of music to help us return to and
reconnect with our roots.

Produced by The Jewish Theological Seminary in conjunction with Diva
Communications.
