Tehilim Chapter 1 - תהילים פרק א


Growing up, I would cherish the opportunity every Shabbat to recite this traditional, slow-paced melody to Tehilim. Originating in the Spanish cities of Morocco such as Tangiers and Tetouan, IMHO, I believe there is no sweeter version in the world. Think you've heard better? Feel free to send me an email with a recording. I'll be waiting.
Here is Chapter 1 for your listening pleasure. Our first installment of Tehilim Tuesday.

    better? no! almost as good. "nicest in the world" agreed! a close second would be Damascus Syrian, (note the kids zeal :-) ) must have been some 30 or so, years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yr-HBKmc7LQ מפי מפי עוללים ויונקים יסדת עוז

      Beautiful! Thanks for sharing. I love hearing children recite words of Torah or piyutim. Hazak!

      Thanks for the kind words. I love Moshe Habousha. Such a clear voice and every syllable pronounced perfectly. Thank you for sharing.

      And that's the Iraqi way, not the Syrian way which I know he is well familiar with. I was fortunate enough to hear Habusha pray arbith in Brooklyn back in April.

This song originates from the Middle East and is sung by all sects of Sephardic Judaism. In fact, thanks to the musician Yossi Piamenta z"l, aka the Jewish Jimmy Hendrix, this song became known even amongst the Ashkenazim. It has a classic middle eastern melody and is sung on all happy occasions. The maqam is kurd.

Ten Commandment Aseret HaDibrot Moroccan - עשרת הדיברות נוסח מרוקו

It's the climax of the entire Torah. The moment the world was created. The recital of the Ten Commandments in any synagogue is a special moment. In a Moroccan synagogue it's no different.

For your listening pleasure, I have recorded the Ten Commandments in its entirety.
