Great Collection September 27, 2007

If you are looking for a book of Jewish songs that are played at shul, this is the book. It has not just one version but many versions of the same song, so you can pick the one you are familiar with, or learn a new melody.

There have been many Songbooks of Jewish music compiled by a variety of organizations over the last 40 years - all for a specific purpose. This collection however is unique in that in its 400+ pages it provides the lyrics (or texts with sources), music notation and guitar chords of nearly every song taught by camp and Temple songleaders between 1965 and 2000. It is nothing less than an archive of the Jewish music of a generation (or two). The important works of contemporary composers (Friedman, Klepper, Isaacson, Dropkin, Freedlander, etc.) are scored here along with traditional folk tunes, Chassidic nigunim and popular Israeli music. The 350 collected songs are indexed by text source and by composer. Hebrew songs feature transliterated lyrics in the score and hebrew text with translation below.
