hey it's Ari goldwag here we're going to
sing a few of the tunes of
rasher the high holidays and I'll give
you a few thoughts here and there a few
lines not a lot of speaking much more
singing and we're going to start off
with myv
[Music]
move
[Music]
ah for
[Music]
is
[Music]
[Laughter]
[Music]
is
for for
[Music]
I for
[Music]
is Mot
before I continue with Kadesh just want
to make an
important take make an important note
it's important to take note that when we
are doing when we are leading
the we're like the captain of the ship
and the captain of the ship is not alone
on the ship captain of the ship is a
leader captain of the ship wants the
whole ship they're all rowing together
trying to get to our
destination it's more of a rowboat than
and a and a uh it's definitely not an
electric powered
ship and so there are a few things that
that means number one as the kazin my
job is not to perform unless that's my
job as the kazin but about as the
captain of the ship the purpose is to
involve our tior to bring them along
with us on the journey and sometimes it
means giving an opportunity for the tour
to do its thing to sing and that means I
need to wait as the the were until the
the kahal so the congregation has
finished their singing they want to they
want to sing or if depends if I'm
leading the singing if I'm singing with
them or sometimes there's opportunities
for them to sing by themselves so I need
to give the space for the kahal to do
their part for the rowers to row and of
course I need to give the direction I
need to be the leader so important
things like starting the words loudly at
the beginning of a
par on everyone joins in I don't have to
spend my voice right I have to maintain
my voice throughout the the feel is
long that's an important point and and
it's knowing when to go knowing when to
wait these are things that you can pick
up intuitively but it's especially
important let's say in Kadesh I'm going
to we're going to sing Kadesh in a
moment in
Kadesh I need to wait for
you shouldn't
start until the kahal is finished
saying the whole kalal should be
basically finished they do want to hear
thein of course the kazin is the leader
for the most part my job as kazin is to
lead them and that they should get
involved and be part of the but I also
need to give them space and wait
before before uh moving on to the next
part of the here we go
with
[Music]
for man
[Music]
spe for
[Music]
we say to
ourselves everyone do their
Pace picks it up
withu and during the week we start with
which is chanted in a regular way like
we're saying to H him line by line
each line is is the same exact idea once
again wait before wait for the Tira to
finish the line before starting the next
line let them hear the beginning of the
of the next line so if they don't want
to look inside of their sitter they can
pick it up from because you made clear
what's coming
next
[Music]
for the
[Music]
now the Kadesh I'm going to sing the
Kadesh the way that I do it
there's more than one right way to do it
it's always going to be triumphant I
would do the same exact Cottage at the
end of all of the Tas it's a triumphant
Fila I mix it together it's a hybrid
with a with a more well-known tune um on
the on the upy part of it and you can
always choose your own Tunes there's no
wrong way to do it it should be
something that the call is you know
we're relieved we got to the end of Thea
we've got we've gone through this
journey together we've been rowing and
it's hard to keep rowing this whole time
through the T here we are at the end so
it's triumphant it's
exciting here's where I
[Music]
switch
for for
[Music]
and then Marans pretty
[Music]
typically so
according to the minut of the
placeing and often in
America you don't have to do anything
out of the
ordinary it's always best you're the
captain rowing the ship if you if you uh
give the if you give directions that are
too complicated the rowers don't know
how to row the best thing is always pick
songs pick tunes that everybody knows
that's the most powerful thing that you
can do if they don't know the tune send
it to them before make sure that they
hear the songs that you're doing give
them a give them a heads up our sections
of the DAV as we will see that are
personal and private and the does not
the Kal and the ti the congregation does
not necessarily need to know the tune as
well the private parts of Thea the the
personal parts of the
TWA those you know those have their own
uh feelings about them they're going to
be
pretty similar throughout to what people
are used to they should be similar to
what people are used
to and it's okay to throw in a new tune
here and there but I say if you want to
steer that ship in the right
direction it's best to stick to songs
that everyone knows right we'll continue
soon we're the next part of the doic
