RE: Sukkot tunes on Internet - Hebrew U.

[Francesco Spagnolo <yuval.italia...>]

The credit for this Sukkot series, as for all the other online Jewish 
music series featured in the National Sound Archives at the Jewish 
National and University Library (aka the "Fonoteqah", in Hebrew), 
goes to the NSA staff, directed by dr. Gila Flam, and especially to 
Ruth Freed, the amazing Fonoteqah archivist.

The NSA were founded in 1964 (more or less) by Israel Adler, along 
with the Jewish Music Research Center of the Hebrew University of 
Jerusalem. They store thousands and thousands of hours of field 
recordings.

They do amazing work -- and I saw these pages being put online last 
week (I am spending the academic year in Jerusalem): I can never stop 
praising the enormous value that the NSA have for anybody involved in 
Jewish music.

So please visit their pages often, e-mail them, make sure that the 
recordings you produce are also kept there, and support their work in 
any way you can!

Chag sameach!
Francesco
