Song of the Week 4/16/23 and other info!

I drove up to a Cobblestone Auto Spa at Mcclintock and Ray Road and gave them my $15 for a car wash... 

While sitting in my car going through the car wash my brain (which was totally thinking and reminiscing about Israeli Music) all of a sudden this song Ha Auto Sheli popped inside!

I remembered this video and decided it was important to make it the song of the week. The car wash scenes are pretty cool. 

Sorry I couldn't find a translation of the song, but I'll update my post once i do.

Here is the Israeli Dance choreographed by my friend Yaron Ben-Simchon:

So my car is clean and I'm happy until more Arizona dust builds up on it! FYI when sharing my blog post with Elaine she reminded me we haven't done this dance in such a long time. (Maybe on May 17th  I'll review the dance before the class and teach it)

In other car news this was an interesting article that Elaine shared with me and I thought I would pass it along. I'm into the driverless cars and love Waymo so this was a cool article.

On another note:

JasonHecht.com is going to be moved to a new server soon. 

And I have updated the radio section of the site (Click on the big old-fashioned radio.) You will find a link to my intro lecture given at the FJMC (Federation of Jewish Men's club) Affinity Group. I'm having fun giving these lectures and hope to do more of them in the future. 

Keep an eye out for my blog posts!!! Please share them with others!

Song of the Week 12/18/22 - 12/24/22 (Hanukkah and more)

 

Happy Hanukkah 2022

Earlier in the week I listening to Shlomi Shabbat and Yehuda Poliker.. Listen to this special rendition 10:49 into the video. It's amazing.  

This got me thinking. I know I recognize that song but what it is.  I googled Yom Sababa and found another version:

Have you figured it out yet?   If you give up stay tuned, and I'll tell you what it is at the end of todays blog.

Very soon the Israel Hour Podcast should be out that featured my playlist.  Please check back here and I'll post a link to it. In the meantime, I wanted to share an article by Israel Hour Host Josh Shron.  This article shares and explains the 2020 songs when music mattered more than ever. 

Again, I couldn't leave you without sharing the latest and interesting Six13 Hanukkah video and it's like the candle in the window !!!!

Still don't recognize the song. Flip your phone, tablet, or monitor over to reveal the answer:

Songs for the weekend and cool info!

Friday morning I was thinking about this song:

I know it’s not the best recording but to see Haim Moshe sing live is awesome. This song has been stuck in my head since Thanksgiving. I’ve been trying to shake it loose. This song Tishmeru Al Atzmechem (Take Care of yourself):

If you want to hear a better version click HERE.

Here is an instrumental version.

For the translation of this song Click Here

This song got me totally in the mood for Shabbat as it is such a spiritual type song. 

Well after finding that song I found something more intriguing. I was recommended a video that had a lot of Haim Moshe songs in it. So I clicked on this link. Up popped a small album of some Haim Moshe songs that i recognized. A few I didn’t. Song #4 caught my attention.

Song #4 I was thinking I know that I had heard this song somewhere and it might have been at a Camp Rikud (Israeli dance camp). I stopped what I was doing and texted David Dassa asking him if he or his father Dani Dassa created a dance to this song. I know he created a dance to Haim’s Nishba. TRANSLATION (I take an Oath)

Watch Nishba Dance. 

That’s not the song I wanted to feature today but it’s another one of my favorite songs. So David replied to my message and said yes his father created a dance to this beautiful song “Shivat Piley Tevel. I knew I wasn’t loosing my mind yet. That made me feel a lot better.

This song translates to 7 wonders of the world. I didn’t find a lyrics translation of it anywhere. But the music and the lyrics are very interesting. I hope you all have a great weekend and enjoy the music! 

12/4: Translation

Here is a YouTube playlist of the Full Album.

What happens when a song gets stuck in your head! Oy!

What Happens When a song gets stuck in your head?

OMG it happens to me sometimes.

One thing is you play it on your ipod or phone over and over, but you never get sick 😫 of hearing it.

This song Tagidi Ki got stuck in my head. The ooo's and aaah's are addicting. I have been humming the tune for the past three days. Why? I don't know.

Here is the original song sung by Shomo Artzi:

Here is Eyal Golan's version:

I remember learning the dance to this so long ago. Here it is demonstrated and also danced:

What does the song mean?

The song translates into English as "Tell me." It is a very sad song 🎵,  but to me I love the tune in of the music from flutes and more. I really do love the many versions I've been able to find.

Here is the translation from lyrics translate.

Here is a very interesting video that I found posted by אלי משה (Eli Moshe)

Here is Orel Ben-Shushan singing it. I found this by accident.
