Cantor Schwartz Sings Rahamono ("God of Mercy"): The Ultimate Jewish Prayer of Supplication 

A blessing of this pandemic has been our increased connection with Jews around the world through technology. Last spring, we received a note from Ziona Brotleit, a new remote participant in our Livestream services and the granddaughter of Cantor Moshe Koussewitzky, one of the most celebrated cantors of all time. Cantor Schwartz interviewed Brotleit before the holidays and heard about her special relationship with her grandfather. As a tribute to this heartwarming encounter, we’ve recreated the original long-lost musical score of the Yom Kippur prayer Rahamono, as sung by Cantor Koussewitzky, which brought tears of remembrance and joy.

Can you think of a way to pass down your traditions from generation to generation? Wishing you a Shabbat shalom.

Orchestration:Cantor Joseph Ness

Ben Hecht: Fighting Words, Moving Pictures

Ace reporter, celebrated playwright, taboo-busting novelist, and “the greatest of American screenwriters” (according to the New Yorker), Ben Hecht wrote the Hollywood we know today. In this exploration of Hecht’s life and work, Adina Hoffman and Rabbi Savenor look at his most notable screenplays, as well as his role as an outspoken crusader for Jewish communities around the world. Whatever the outrage he stirred, this renaissance man and self-declared “child of the century” came to embody much that defined America — especially Jewish America — in his time.
