I can hear the shofar calling: Prodezra Beats Rosh Hashanah G-dCast

Proderza Beats, aka L'Shem Shamayim, offers up a hip-hop take on the Rosh Hashanna Torah reading.




Prodezra Beats has a new EP and videos out. Good stuff. Check it out.

G-dcast is a ongoing project to develop new online media to improve Jewish literacy. They are typically animated interpretations of the weeks's parsha. They're always interesting and often wonderful.

Jack,

Need your help. I simply cannot find the lyrics for Amen Shem Nora--usually sung on or about Simchat Torah, but is a great sukkah song. Its traditional melody is very lively and is great for children. If you have it or know where I might find it--Hebrew is fine, tranlisterated is also okay, I'd appreciate it.

Wish you an easy and meaningful fast.

Rich, I know of a number of places online where you can hear the song, but I don't have a good source for the lyrics. I'll ask around and see what I can find.

Rich...I was just told that the lyrics are in the Reform Machzor (Gates of Repentance, I think). I might be able to get my hands on a copy either tomorrow or early next week. If so I'll post them on the blog.

Rich...the best place to find the lyrics is to buy a copy of the sheet music http://www.soundswrite.com/product.php?productid=110&cat=325&page=1 or to get a copy of a Reform machzor.

I've got a copy of the sheet music from my cantor and can email you the lyrics if you're not able to get them in time elsewhere. jackzero@gmail.com
