Today, at sunset, (Sept. 8, 2010) is the first day of Rosh Hashanah -- the Hebrew New Year 5771.  The Jewish new year is also called the "Feast of Trumpets." 

In Leviticus 23:24 ~~ "Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first [day] of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation."

A common blessing is "L'Shanah Tovah Tikatevu!" which means "May you be inscribed (in the Book of Life) for a good year!"

And what better way to "REJOICE" then to stroll down memory lane with the Allan Sherman classic:  Harvey & Sheila (a satire of the song"Hava Naglia."  Hava naglia means:  Let us rejoice. )

 

And for my next number, I'd like to introduce to the CUFI Cornerstone Singers, and their rendition of "Hava Naglia . . . Texas Style"

 

For the traditionalist . . . a beautiful rendition

From London, Andre Rieu at Royal Albert Hall

From Iran . . . Mellat Museum In Tehran . . . a simple song from a very brave man

For those that now me, I LOVE BOLLYWOOD Who would have thunk -- Bollywood dancing to Hava Naglia

This is guy is AMAZING!!! Liron Mann and his drum . . . like the Little Drummer Boy . . .

Eastern European classsic

From Russian . . . with love (and rock 'n roll)

From Mexico -- Raphael (with a little Flamenco tossed in)

~~ Happy New Year 5771 Everyone! PEACE!!!! ~~

Some Allen Sherman trivia: "Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh. Here I am at Camp Granada. Camp is very entertaining. And they say we'll have some fun if it stops raining"

Hi Dave -- you know that's funny, because I actually had that in this post!!  I referenced the song because it came out the very time I was off to camp.  Thanks for putting it back it!!

If he were alive he would get a kick out of getting internet mentions about his 1960's paradies.

Carla, I listened to all of them and I enjoyed each of them. Wow, what an entertaining list. I also remembered my first (known to me) Rosh Hashana. It was 19 years ago in Moscow.

Great Music.  I am a Christian but like many Christians I have a great deal of respect for Jewish People and Faith History as it is the source of our own faith and we believe even today that Jews are a set aside and special People to God.

Happy New Year and May the God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob bless you this year.

Hi Gene . . . and remember, Ishmael . . . although we tend to forget him.  He was also Abraham's son.  And then . . . it just gets SO complicated . . .

Hey Andi -- as you know my story, as a Christian I believe we are all Children of God, if we want to be.

Carla,  Absolutely enjoyed the videos...thank you so much for sharing and educating!  I still remember have the blessing to being invited to a Seder (sp, forgive me if not spelled correctly) dinner and bring my then teen age daughters.  I truly believe knowledge of different customs is the key to peace in this world.  We only fear that which we do not know.  Blessings to you!

Hi Alexander -- thank you so much!! I'm glad you enjoyed this. But, please write your post too!!

Hey Deborah . . . I agree!!  We'd be surprised that our similiarities are greater than our differences.  A shame that evil creates the illusion of separation.

Carla  This is fantastico - I found the Iranian presentation unusual - I never thought it could be done.  Religious occasion or not, I recommended it as a feature.  The Texas video came alive with the fiddler

Hi Karen . . . as I say, that Iranian musician has some matzo balls.  As a "patron of the arts" I appreciate the spirit of this man, and what his art has to say.  To me, this is a masterpiece.  An expression of freedom in a land where it's limited and controlled.
