Artist Raquel Partnoy: Paintings of Women of the Bible, music: Ofra Haza

Posted by genglish on April 27th, 2010 and filed under Jewish Art | 2 Comments »

Women of the Bible, paintings series by the jewish artist Raquel Partnoy: Eve, Miriam, the daughters of Lot, Esther, Ruth and passages from The Song of Songs.

In 1994, when Partnoy visited the Jewish Museum in New York for the first time, she became impressed by the images and the rich textures of the ancient religious objects. It was then that she thought that she would need a different material than oil painting to portrait the life of the Jewish people and the stories of the women of the Bible. She chose fabrics to create the collages, more specifically, discarded fabrics she found at some upholstery stores and at dressmakers shops, to tell those stories about dreams, exile, and hopes.

The music of this video is by Ofra Haza (Shedemati and Lavo El Toch Haperach)

Traditional Jewish music

Posted by genglish on March 16th, 2010 and filed under Jewish Music | 25 Comments »

Traditional Jewish Yemenite music comprised of prayers, stories and chants sung together with drums or clapping.
It is sung before the ceremony of havdalah, religious ceremony that marks the symbolic end of Shabbat or holidays, and ushers in the new week.

Translation from hebrew: : My soul longs for the candle and the spices. If only you would pour me a cup of wine for Havdalah. O angels high, pave a way for me, clear the path for the bewildered and open the gates that I may enter, My heart yearning, I shall lift up my eyes to g-d, who provides for my needs day and night.
