Re: (חג הסוכות) On the road again...
zbigley:Rabbit, you picked a fine time to absent yourself, as Robert Alter has a column in Culturebox on his new translation of the Psalms. He probably waited to publish it until you announced a leave of absence. Hi zbigley, I saw the announcement and thought the timing a tad peculiar, too. :) But since my chauffer is running late, I just might ...

Re: What a great idea
1. People still know Hebrew because it has been spoken (or at least written and read) continuously since the time of the Bible's authorship. The language has evolved significantly. Biblical Hebrew is different from Mishnaic Hebrew, which is different from later rabbinic and liturgical Hebrew, which is very different from modern Hebrew. Despite the ...

Re: We interrupt the Tuesday Tripe to bring you...
And with that, I am ready to present the playlist as a ''proof of concept'' to my church's nascent online Living University. We'll see how much time I have to add more videos (as creating them can be very time-consuming). wr ()()

And then there were TWO YouTube channels...:)
Dear Fraysters, I hope this doesn't become a trend, and that my YouTube channels don't start multiplying like Fibonacci's rabbits. Anyway, for various reasons I have found it advisable to separate what has become my personal YouTube channel from what has become my (brand-new) dedicated YouTube channel. My six revised slideshows of Suzanne ...

(תהללים) I know what you mean...
NoStar:God bless you for this wonderful work. He has, NoStar. He has. Just being able to do it is a blessing beyond words. wr ()()

Re: New YouTube slideshow: Psalms 130
If we can't mention our own poetic work (original or academic) without getting censured for it, there is something wrong. As a Talmudic homily says on another subject, you write and he who wishes to err let him err. wr ()()

New YouTube slideshow: Psalms 130
The Music of the Bible Revealed - Slideshow (Psalms 130) In keeping with the exquisite simplicity of the ''melopoesis'' of this Psalm as reconstructed by Suzanne Haik-Vantoura, my new YouTube slideshow uses very simple graphic and animation techniques. However, for NoStar's benefit (ask and you shall receive) and the benefit of those on YouTube ...

Re: I stopped in for a drink at Smoky Joe's today...
Howdy FW, Sorry I didn't reply sooner in the appropriate thread. I'm glad you liked the slideshow of Psalm 113 in Hebrew. (I just uploaded my five slideshows on Suzanne Haik-Vantoura's work to MySpaceTV as well. The lecture/concert videos I'm leaving out for now.) I hope you'll go back to the same thread and track down my link to the Greek ...

(שלום) The text is Psalms 113, BTW...
And here is the Greek Orthodox version (or one of them, if there's more than one) -- it is totally different in spirit from the reconstructed Hebrew version. The choirs are not quite in tune, even by what seems to be the singers' own native temperament (they're beautifully in tune in the upper registers, but have trouble in the lower ones). I ...

(שלום) My latest offering of Hebrew sung poetry...comments?
Ancient Hebrew sung poetry performed by the redoubtable Robert Boschiero (tenor) and Sabine Chefson (Celtic harp) on the recording La musique de la Bible revelee - Volume 3 by Suzanne Haik-Vantoura... This YouTube video slideshow is set apart by two things, one of which at least will be of interest and value to those of you who love poetry as ...
