  • Mordechai Hershman (1888-1940)
    Mordecai Hershman was born in Chernigov and from an early age was an active participant in several synagogue choirs. His first post was as a hazzan in Zhitomir, but stayed there only a few months before he was offered a position as hazzan of Vilna. During World War I, Hershman was drafted into the Russian army, but it is said that his officer was so impressed by his tenor voice that he released him from duty so that he could return to his community in Vilna. After the war, Hershman toured extensively throughout Russia and Europe, performing at synagogues and as a soloist with local orchestras. In 1920, he emigrated to the United States where he was took a position as chief hazzan at the Beth El Temple in Brooklyn, New York. During his time at Beth El Temple, he continued to tour throughout America, Europe and Palestine. As was customary of noted hazzanim of the time, Hershman released several records of cantorial and Jewish folk music.

    Beautiful and so moving. My non-Jewish family benefited from the kindness of the Jewish population in London. My grandmother said they would have starved if it hadn't been for the Jews in North London. God bless them.

    Simple, elegant and, eloquent vocalism with an easy delivery throughout the entire vocal range. Hershman's voice may very likely be the most beautiful voice of chazzonim throughout the ages.

    Yes, Reb Dovid. Pure gold. His delivery throughout matches the emotional track of the lyrics, and brings out their teaching. It's a heart journey each time. Thank you for posting.

    "These are duties whose worth cannot be measured:
    Honoring one’s father and mother,
    Acts of love and kindness
    Diligent pursuit of knowledge and wisdom,
    Hospitality to strangers,
    Visiting the sick,
    Celebrating with bride and groom,
    Praying with sincerity,
    Consoling the bereaved,
    Making peace where there is strife,
    And the study of Torah leads to them all."

      I guess what you posted is a translation. Thank you very much. The original is in Hebrew or Aramaic?

    • @yisroelhomnick6175
      @yisroelhomnick6175 Před 7 lety +4

      Not the hottest translation, but it's from the Hebrew.
      Better translation, un-neutered of religious content:
      "These are the things which have no limits:
      The [tithe of the] corner of the field (i.e., you may consider the "corner" for the poor as small or large as you choose);
      And the first fruits (i.e., you may bring one or two fruits, or as many as you wish);
      And the Pilgrimage sacrifices (1 or many);
      And acts of lovingkindness (1 a day or many);
      And the study of Torah (i.e., you must learn daily, but it can be one saying, or full-day study).
      These are the things which a person eats their Fruits ("Interest Payments") in This World,
      Yet the Principal remains intact for him for the Next World:
      Honoring Father & Mother, and acts of lovingkindness,
      And arriving early to the Study Hall (i.e., for prayer & study) morning & evening,
      And welcoming guests, and visiting the sick,
      And bringing the bride to the canopy (i.e., making it possible for her to get married in dignity),
      And escorting the dead [to their final resting place], and full concentration on the prayers,
      And bringing peace between a man and their fellow man, and between a man and his wife -
      And the study of Torah stands opposite all of these. (Generally understood to mean, has value equal to any of these, partially because [as the previous translation stated] it brings to kind acts, and partly because studying G-d's Word is beneficial to the world and is an equal kindness to these specific, direct acts of kindness,)

    Diese Aufnahme mit der Stimme von Mordechai Hershman ist eines der bewegendsten Zeugnisse jüdisch-liturgischer Musik, die über einen gediegenen Umfang an großartigen Kantoren verfügte, wie Gersham Sirota, von Caruso als die „bessere Stimme“ bezeichnet, Yossele Rozenblatt Pinchas Rosummi, Svulun Kvartin, David Roitman, Berele Chagi, Moshe Kosevitzky und Misha Alexandrovich, dessen Stimme mich an Gigli in seinen besten Jahren erinnert. Nicht zu vergessen Joseph Schmidt, der zwar kein Kantor war, aber auch liturgische Gesänge der Welt schenkte. .

    @vintagepa, actually this is new technology by Dr. Morderchai Sobol which combines the original voice of the chazan with a modern choir and music.

    Hi, someone can help me ? I´m trying to find which cantor sings Hashkiveinu in the movie "Enemies a love story" directed by Paul Mazursky. The credits are misleading, there is a mistake ;so no way I could identify the cantor of this piece. Thanks for helping me finding who sings the Hashkiveinu in this movie.

    Hershman is wonderful. But why does Sobol have the choir singing with a different (Ivrit) pronunctiation of the Hebrew than the Chazan. It spoils it.
