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.

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

    2. 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.

Az Yashir Moshe, Birkat HaLevana and more...

 Hi everyone, I recently recorded a new Az Yashir Moshe in maqam "mzmoum" - often sang on Shabbat Teruma but I like singing it throughout the year. Also, I recorded Birkat HaLevana sung in Moroccan Tehilim Melody. Lastly, given that it's Rosh Hodesh this week, I finally recorded the traditional "Barechi Nafshi" that is said prior to Arvit and at the end of Shaharit. See below.

Traditional Kadish - Friday Night and Shabbat morning

 Hi everyone, I received a request to record the traditional Kadish for both Friday Night and Shabbat Morning. It was often the custom in Spanish Morocco to recite the Kadish in these tunes most weeks. They are here below. Also, Tehilim continues to be updated on its respective page.  Friday Night Kadish Shabbat Morning Kadish

Selihot Lema'ancha Elohai - סליחות למענך אלהי

This song is recited every morning during Selihot, in addition to Shaharit of Yom Kippur. The tune is practically the same among all Sepharadim.
