BBC blood libel music

[Bill Barabash <billb978...>]

Another suggestion is "A Tfileh Fun Mendel Beilis" ("A Prayer of Mendel 
Beilis"), a
violin solo by Jacob Gegna (Columbia E7174 [1921]), recorded on the flip 
side of
Gegna's more famous Taxim.  The recording can be found on Kurt Bjorling's
privately issued cassette "Jewish Violinists Vol. 2".  Mendel Beilis was 
accused of
the blood libel in Kiev in 1912, and was eventually acquitted in court.
