Experiment Jewish Music MP3s Jukebox

Update [Aug. 8, 2007]: Only 40 files can be added per jukebox (and not sure yet what is the maximum amount of jukeboxes I can have per user name.) Please let me know your thoughts, and if you don't have an opinion, but enjoy the jukebox for the music, also let me know. {Anonymous comments are welcome too} ~ Thank you.

~~~~

I discovered some html code that shows up on the blog as a program that acts like a Music Jukebox. I'm experimenting with it by adding MP3s from various websites that offer Jewish Music, including Carlebach, Breslav, Klezmer and others. I have about 20 files (and growing as I discover another one to add) already. I put the website in parenthesis of where I got the file from.

I'd like to ask you to try it out, and to please post some feedback as to whether you do like it, or not. Would you consider using the Jukebox to stay on the site and listen to an hour or longer lecture? Do you know of a better program to use instead of the one presently on the blog? Have a recommendation on anything that would be more suitable for this purpose?

Take a look at the jukebox, enjoy the pieces I put together and let me know what you think.

Don't wish to post a comment? Then please email me instead at torahonline@gmail.com. Either way, please let me know your thoughts, as we together make the blog a better place for Torah.

Thank you very much!

P.S. Can't find the Jukebox? It's the widget right after the links to past Archives - from the home page and right underneath the "Previous" postings when on any other page within the blog.

Holiday of Sukkos - Lectures and Music

1. The Essence of Sukkot

by Kahn, Rabbi Ari
Length of lecture is approx. 63 minutes
Click here to listen with Windows Media Player

A description of this class as found on Aish Audio:

At the end of days, the nations of the world will ask Hashem to test them. He will give them the mitzvah of Sukkah. Rabbi Kahn delves into the commentaries to pinpoint the essential difference between Jewish and non-Jewish thinking, and how the Sukkah plays a pivotal role in our general worldview. Also hear a breathtaking revelation of the centrality of Sukkot in the Biblical story of Jacob and Esau.

2. Succos: God’s Love and Protection

by Kirzner, Rabbi Yitzchak ztl
Length of lecture is approx. 90 minutes
Click here to listen with Windows Media Player

A description of this class as found on Aish Audio:

When your heart is hunting for a place to take refuge, there is no more welcoming place than the protective safety of the sukkah. This temporary outdoor dwelling is simultaneously a place of purity where we consummate our intimate bond of unconditional love between ourselves and G-d. Listen to how all these concepts merge as you take shelter in your booth under the stars.

3. Sukkos: Me, a Kabbalist?

by Wagensberg, Rabbi Abba
Length of lecture is approx. 95 minutes
Click here to listen with Windows Media Player

A description of this class as found on Aish Audio:

What are we really celebrating on Sukkos? How does the water-drawing for the Temple express itself in the simchas beis hashoeva (dancing ceremony) of today? How did the 'clouds of glory' elevate the Jews to an exalted status? Rabbi Wagensberg answers these and other mystical questions in his own captivating way.

4. Simchas Beis Hashoeva

by Weinberg, Rabbi Noah
Length of lecture is approx. 86 minutes
Click here to listen with Windows Media Player

A description of this class as found on Aish Audio:

How can one be commanded to 'be happy' during the Simchas Beis Hashoeva (water drawing ceremony)? What is there to be so happy about on Sukkos anyway? Rabbi Noah Weinberg explains the joy of this time and what we are truly able to achieve through this happiness.

5. Essence of Sukkot and Shmini Atzeret

by Weinberg, Rabbi Yaakov ztl
Length of lecture is approx. 45 minutes
Click here to listen with Windows Media Player

A description of this class as found on Aish Audio:

Each holiday is a reaction to an event that affected the reality of the Jewish people. As such, Rabbi Weinberg explains the deeper meaning of joy on Sukkot, and what is needed to attain this state of joy in our Sukkot booths.
