For all the Writings are holy and Song of Songs is holy of holies – Rabbi Akiva

A shout out to Dov Carpe, who is in my shiur at YU on an amazing song/video. Enjoy!

Another classic holiday anthem from the Maccabeats.

Came across this trippy music video in celebration of the life of Eliyahu HaNavi … interesting… Enjoy!

To attain victory over unconstraint and destructive atheism, we must educate Torah scholars who are healthy physically and healthy in all their non-physical aspects.

They must be educated intelligently with the ability to recognize the sweet feelings that come from dealing with the most elevated aspect of beauty-whether in song and poetry, the glory of nature, or whether it is the beauty that stands out in the works of mankind.

"A beautiful dwelling place, a beautiful wife and beautiful clothes broaden a person's mind" (Talmud).

Orot Ha'Emunah, p. 17 (http://ravkook.net/poetry.html)

Gheorghe Zamfir – The Lonely Shepherd –  In my opinion one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever created. B"H, Enjoy!

  Also a great new single, from Matisyahu – One Day, literally brings tears to your eyes

New release by Matisyahu – interesting film clip. Enjoy!

R’ Yossele Rosenblatt is rightfully known as the "King of Cantors". Here is a rare video I found online of a beautiful rendition of Hallel. (Hat tip to Circus Tent)
