Each CD comes with a booklet of

From the Bible
for Revival has songs in both
Hebrew and English. Here's a
selection:
Jerusalem of Gold

A medley of Hassidic melodies
3-minute instrumental of Fiddler on
the Roof

My favorite song on this CD is “Toda,” which
means “thank you.” A rough translation
goes like this: “Thank you for all that you
created. Thank you for all that you
gave, for the light of eyes, a friend or
two. For all that is in the world.
For a simple song. A forgiving heart.
Because of them I exist.”

My favorite
song on the "25 Most Famous..." CD is "Dror
Yikra" which is sung with a Yemenite accent.
It's a song of prayer. A rough
translation is that the Lord will bless
those who follow him faithfully. He
will give them freedom and peace. It's
a very spirited song and you have to dance
when you sing it -- or at least wave your
fingers!
Coming to Jerusalem in
2008? Does the hustle and bustle of
the market give you a high, yet you would like some
quiet moments in the holy sites? Would you
like to climb Jerusalem's roof-top towers
with the most rewarding views humming your
repertoire of Israeli folk songs? Are you eager
to eat humus and kubbeh elbow-to-elbow with
the "natives" as Israeli music blares in
the background?
