Jewish Entertainment

Anyone know any great jewish music, if so, share with me.
Also, I’d prefer if it were classical.

http://www.jewishmusic.com/ <<<<< Best website for this question

For those who haven’t seen it, it’s about how Gays are allowed to be in the army. Yet Children can’t celebrate Christmas or something of the liking, the kicker is the music playing through the entire commercial was created by a Jewish homosexual man. Is that Poetic Justice or what ^_^
For those who haven’t seen the commercial this is the ad with Rick Perry,

There is some very catchy jewish music

for example:

Hava Nagila:

Through Poland to Jewish Village:

Does Christianity have any that just won’t get out of your head!!!!!??

Like the two up there?
Chi girl: good, but not as catchy, the only one I can think of that comes close is "Ave Maria"

Sure—ksekinaei mia psaropoula and Maria me ta kitrina are pretty catchy.

If you mean music in which the Shofar (horn) is blown then there are a few CD’s available.

One is Kol Nidre Service with Shofar.
I believe that there is a group also who call themselves Shofar.

Hope you find what your looking for.
Shofar, Shogood.!

I’ am looking for some sort of Jewish party music, none of that new stuff, something old. Sort of like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ey0yPu7eZzQ

Find Russian or German folk music. This is where typical jewish music comes from, and it sounds similar.

Unfortunately, whenever I post links here, the question doesn’t show up, but I’m listening to Sergei Prokofiev’s ”Overture on Hebrew Themes”, and am stunned.

I think it’s … mournful? It seems deep.

What do you think?
Aha! Here we go, listen to this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overture_on_Hebrew_Themes

Don’t you think it’s one of the most beautiful things you’ve ever heard?

I find Klezmer music to be hit or miss. Some is excelelnt. Others not so much

i dont know where to start….
anything is good really…whether it’s instrumental spiritual or jewish worship.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AirygVSi22c Anavim – Shwekey, or Yossi Green
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZS5lMaj11E Boee Beshalom – Shwekey
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBjKnytVNgI Vehi Sheamda – Shwekey and Yonatan Razel
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CBeoBrlTgs Refua – Shwekey and Baruch Levine
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aMeECLHYCE Vezakeini – Baruch Levine
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcaVbiC6eDE Esa Einai – Shalsheles

And, which would probably be most helpful if you’re really looking for something more professional, as in recorded cd instrumentals – http://www.mostlymusic.com/instrumental.html

I know modanna is not jeweish but she already used several poems written by Suffis, is this seen as Vulgar these days?

Since there were Jewish Sufis in the Middle East during the 13th and 14th centuries, I would assume so. The different religions became syncretized in some cases.

In English phonetics
I love bhajans, nasheeds, shabads, hymns, and I want to explore into traditional jewish music
I tried finding a classical version of Eliyahu Hanavi on YouTube but most seemed pretty modernized

Aaand the golden word iss…*drum roll*…

Niggun/Nigun

Specifically, (C)hassidic Nig(g)un.

You’ll find many for streaming on Chabad.org:
http://www.chabad.org/multimedia/media_cdo/aid/254237/jewish/Jewish-Music.htm

If you want, I have a somewhat large collection of Jewish music. Drop me an email through Y! Answers and I’ll see what I can do..

In Judaism the Niggun, or melody (translation) is an extremely significant aspect. Through the Nigun we can accomplish great heights and spiritual awakening. Different Chassidic groups have their own niggunim (plural), and even their own styles of niggunim. Breslov (alternately spelled Breslev) niggunim, for example, are usually more focused on awakening the heart purely and simply. Chabad niggunim, on the other hand (such as what you’ll find on the site I posted above), are more focused on an intellectual/contemplative journey, used as a tool to help one on his/her journey to rise to the depths of Heaven.

Some Breslov niggunim:

(You’ll see numbered lines, and then a blue link. The blue link is for listening to the Niggun).

I’ve heard the most wonderful, lively songs at Jewish gatherings (from open ceremonies and on TV). There must be compilations of this music on CD’s and such for purchase. What are some titles of albums, and what are some search terms I can use to find albums?

Search "jewish music".

Should get you there.

"Klezmer" will, as well.

Try going to a judaica catalog, online, like thejewishsource.com. They have a music section.

Look for music played at weddings and Bar Mitzvahs.

If Hava Nagila and Tzena Tzena are on it, it’s probably a good starter CD.
