Shalsheles- Generations - Video


Originally recorded for Bonei Olam by Shalsheles. . The song was composed by Yitzchok Rosenthal, arranged by Ron Tichon with lyrics by Estie Zelcer, and the song appears on Shalsheles Volume V.
Visit us at www.Shalsheles.com

Two years ago Shalsheles was approached to write a song for Bonei Olam an organization which helps couples
experiencing infertility issues, to use in their fundraising efforts. As the name Shalsheles depicts Links or
Generations within the Jewish dynasty, how fitting and relevant this song is, in describing Bonei Olam's
mission in helping to establish future generations. To date over two thousand couples with the assistance of
Bonei Olam have realized their dreams in giving birth to children, and in essence new Generations.

Big Time Alter Heim - Sheya Mendlowitz Production



New York, NY - While much of current Jewish music seems to be incorporating many of the trends and techniques of today’s secular music, one of the biggest names in the Jewish music business is bringing back old school Jewish music with an album that fuses the feel of yesteryear with the today’s rigorous musical standards.

Sheya Mendlowitz, the man behind the HASC concert series, the Lipa Schmelczer mega-concert known as The Event, as well as numerous albums and other full scale productions, has resurrected some of the best loved songs in the annals of Jewish music and brought them to life with an all star team of musical talent, in an album titled Big Time Alter Heim – Then and Now.

“I have been wanting to do this for a long time,” Mendlowitz told VIN News. “The idea was to bring back the hits that many of us grew up with, good material that has been around for a few hundred years up until now. So much of the current music doesn’t sound like what I know Jewish music to be and I wanted to bring that back.”

Big Time Alter Heim features the voices of Mordechai Ben David, Lipa Schmelczer, Dovid Gabay, Shloime Gertner and the Mezamrim Choir, accompanied by acclaimed Israeli clarinetist Chilik Frank and the Freilach Orchestra.  Produced and directed by Mendlowitz, with the assistance of associate producer Benny Taubenfeld of Sameach Music and arrangements by Suki Berry, the album features wedding, dance and march medleys and chupah selections, among others. 

Sameach Music reports that the album will be available in stores today.

Lipa and the Rubashkin petition - Video




With the affirmation of the 8’th circuit of the draconian 27 year sentence, Sholom Mordechai Rubashkin is in dire need of the public’s help.  They could play a vital role in raising awareness this just cause, with a White House petition calling for an investigation into prosecutorial and judicial misconduct that currently has almost 26,000 signatures.

The petition, part of a recently launched program by the Obama administration to allow private citizens to have their causes heard by the White House, is currently the third most popular petition on the White House site.  Producer Danny Finkelman, whose credits include Unity for Justice and The Japan Song is attaching his voice to the great many people and organization’s who have called on the public to come out in force, sign the petition and push Rubashkin to the top of the list, in the hopes that the Obama administration will take note of the public outcry at the miscarriage of justice that has permeated this case from day one.

To sign the petition, go to http://wh.gov/gWM






With the words of the Rambam who said that there is no greater mitzvah than that of Pidyon Shvuyim echoing in his ears, Finkleman, superstar Lipa Schmeltzer, several of the Rubashkin children and members of the Airmont Shul teamed up to produce a short YouTube clip, imploring each and every member of the public not to go to Shul on Yom Kippur without doing their part to help Sholom Rubashkin, by signing the White House petition.

The most popular petition on the White House site currently has over 50,000 signatures, but Finkelman thinks this couldcould get more by raising awareness..

“Now more than ever, just days before Yom Kippur, when our fates are about to be sealed, each and every one of us can create a tremendous zechus for ourselves and our families, by helping Sholom Mordechai and his family,” explained Finkelman.  “Take a moment, sign the petition.  It may be a big factor in the ultimate Geulah for Sholom Mordechai.”

Sign the petition, now at http://wh.gov/gWM

 Gmar Chasima toiva for you and your family.

VIN Exclusive Interview: MBD Says New Release Will Be His Final Album




New York - Thirty eight years after the release of his first album, Mordechai Ben David Sings Original Chasidic Niggunim, the man who has been called the undisputed king of Jewish music has announced the release of what will be his final album.

The album, titled Kisufim, is slated to be released on Tuesday by Aderet Music and will contain fourteen songs, including ten new compositions and four old niggunim, two of which date back a century or more and features significant vocal contributions by the Shira Choir.

Werdyger, who composed several of the songs on Kisufim, described this album as having a very different flavor than his most recent hit album, Kulam Ahuvim, whose songs have proven to be a mainstay on the wedding circuit.

“This particular album is a very warm, chasidishe album, something I have wanted to do for many, many years, and I plan to sign off with it.  It is a mix of new material and old nigunim, with original material by Shlomo Yehuda Rechnitz, Yitzchak Fuchs and myself.  I am madly in love with it.”

In an exclusive interview with VIN News, MBD spoke about his decision and the current state of Jewish music.

VIN:  Is this really your last album?
MBD: That is the current plan.

VIN:  Does this announcement mean you are leaving the Jewish music scene entirely?
MBD:  I am only retiring from albums.

VIN: What made you take this step?
MBD:  Putting together an album is too much work. People don’t realize how much goes into an album.  Unfortunately, electronic media has destroyed the CD business and even the biggest secular companies are going under because people just download music they find online.
The way it is right now, it really doesn’t pay to do an album.

VIN: In that case, what does the future hold for Jewish music?
MBD:  Moshiach will come and we will have the music of the Leviyim in the Beis Hamikdash.

VIN:  What are your thoughts on current Jewish music?
MBD: Unfortunately I really have no time to listen and don’t really know what is going on in Jewish music.  I do know that it has taken a completely different direction and Chasidic music is no longer Chasidic music. 

VIN:  What do you think is missing in today’s Jewish music?
MBD:  Hartz, which has to be the main ingredient in any album.  If music doesn’t come from the heart it is nothing. 

VIN: What do you think is the reason you are still around and popular so many years later?   
MBD: Siyata d’ishmaya.

VIN: Thank you for your time.
A member of one of Jewish music’s most heralded families, Mordechai Ben David’s musical career began when his father, the legendary Chazan Dovid Werdyger, overheard him playing original musical compositions and suggested he record an album of his own, which was released in 1973.  Kisufim will be MBD’s thirty sixth full length solo album, in addition to four singles and having appeared on over thirty five other albums in his very lengthy career.  MBD has become a fixture on the concert circuit with numerous appearances in the HASC concert series and the annual Chabad Telethon.  Many of his classic songs remain as popular today as they were when they were first released years ago.
