Tehilim Chapter 1 - תהילים פרק א


Growing up, I would cherish the opportunity every Shabbat to recite this traditional, slow-paced melody to Tehilim. Originating in the Spanish cities of Morocco such as Tangiers and Tetouan, IMHO, I believe there is no sweeter version in the world. Think you've heard better? Feel free to send me an email with a recording. I'll be waiting.
Here is Chapter 1 for your listening pleasure. Our first installment of Tehilim Tuesday.

    1. Thanks for the kind words. I love Moshe Habousha. Such a clear voice and every syllable pronounced perfectly. Thank you for sharing.

    2. And that's the Iraqi way, not the Syrian way which I know he is well familiar with. I was fortunate enough to hear Habusha pray arbith in Brooklyn back in April.

Az Yashir Moshe, Birkat HaLevana and more...

 Hi everyone, I recently recorded a new Az Yashir Moshe in maqam "mzmoum" - often sang on Shabbat Teruma but I like singing it throughout the year. Also, I recorded Birkat HaLevana sung in Moroccan Tehilim Melody. Lastly, given that it's Rosh Hodesh this week, I finally recorded the traditional "Barechi Nafshi" that is said prior to Arvit and at the end of Shaharit. See below.

Traditional Kadish - Friday Night and Shabbat morning

 Arguably the nicest tune for Kedusha out there. Made famous by R' Haim Louk. Enjoy!
