Hi Everybody!! Another great show up on the website for you to enjoy. It reflects several things that happened in the past week. First, Tu B’Shevat, the New Year for trees. This occurred on Shabbos Shirah, the Shabbos of Song and we have music for those occasions. In addition, the world of Jewish music lost the surviving member of the famous Megama duo, Rabbi Sholom Levine, who passed away last week at the age of 61. So lots of fine and relevant music for you to enjoy!!

He remained there until 1980 when he moved to Toronto where he served as Cantor of one of the largest shuls in the city until 2001.
