![]() Natzliach is a fun, upbeat Sephardi style songĪfter relaxing through Malachim and Mimkomcho, it must’ve made all of Caesaria want to dance Less than halfway through the song, it all of a sudden goes right into Natzliach Would prefer not to have 2 slow songs together, especially in a concert CD, but it’s early still.Ĭhaim Israel and Shwekey sound really good together- very different voices that blend nicely I really like the harmonizing with the choir here, and I would say I prefer this version.Ĥ- Malachim/Natzliach (Chaim Israel- Malachim/ Ad Bli Dai) with Chaim Israel It’s beautiful, but maybe just not my style. I don’t know why, but this has never been one of my favorites. One of my favorite songs from Ad Bli Dai, and it’s great here too. Main difference is the kids choir featured here a lot more. Great message and a super fun typical Shwekey beat. I sing along either way so I won’t look as weird singing along with a person as with a trumpet so that’s a plus.Įveryone seems to love this song, and for good reason. You’ll recognize a lot of Shwekey songs in it, which is neat, but if I can listen to Ma Ma Ma or listen to a minute of a symphony playing it on CD, it’d listen to the regular version. I’m sure this would have been amazing to witness at Caesaria, but sitting in my living room in New York it isn’t the same. Many of the songs that we’ve heard before, such as Rachem and Natzliach, have significant differences from the original version. Since there are so many songs, each time I listen to it, I’m excited to hear which song comes next. There is also a lot of variety in the types of songs, yet the transitions between the songs sound natural. That’s the best way to describe it, and I mean it in a good way. There’ s a huge symphony orchestra behind Shwekey here in addition to a kids choir and a mens choir. I get a similar feeling of togetherness listening to it, and the album makes me really want to go back to Israel… hmm….Anyway. Though it’s not to the same extent, it reminds me of my last trip to Chevron when I saw a group of maybe 15 men ranging from blue jeans to black hats and NaNachs to Litvish singing together for a Bar Mitzvah. There’s a huge variety of types of singers on the stage, and at the end of the album, they all come to blend together. Without them, it would still have been a good album, but with them, it’s great. There are a few guest stars in this album. If you haven’t bought a Shwekey CD yet, well, get started already! This is your chance to sort of catch up. So even if you have all the Shwekey CDs, there are a few songs here you haven’t heard yet. You’ll hear a lot of songs from Ad Bli Dai, a few from Leshem Shomayim, and a handful of older songs in addition to new songs and some songs that aren’t Shwekey songs. Now, on the eve of a new Rosh Hashanah, Rav Avigdor Miller’s lesson continues to inspire.We should all be grateful that Shwekey went to Caesaria because, if nothing else, we got this amazing album out of it. The words to the hit song were written 340 days after last Rosh Hashanah (with 5779 being a leap year, the Jewish calendar is longer than usual). ![]() My brother-in-law adopted the minhag, and it motivated us to do so as well.” “Rav Miller suggested that we count each day beginning with Rosh Hashanah, numbering each one as another gift from the Ribbono shel Olam. One of those teachings was that we have to be grateful for each day, and he had a practical way to implement it. ![]() Adele Shwekey.” The Shwekeys lived with many of Rav Avigdor’s life lessons. “Rabbi Miller would say that people seeking blessings could go to my grandmother, Mrs. The respect went both ways, Yaakov Shwekey says. T’s been several weeks since Yaakov Shwekey’s exuberant new song “I Am Alive” has been released and the question has been asked, again and again: What is meant by the lyrics, “It’s been 340 days / thanking you ten million ways / that I am alive, I am alive.” What’s the significance of the number? It’s been 340 days since what?Ī generation ago, the music superstar’s grandparents were committed members of Rav Avigdor Miller’s shul in Brooklyn.
