The New Shir Bliss has descended (ascended?). This episode focuses on the ample contemplative music, both new and old, that Judaism is so fond of. Ironically, I also play some Qawwali music.
This show officially begins the Pesach/Mystical Omer Counting preparations that we here at Shir Bliss look forward to all year. Existence is beginning to look like a delicious pastry.

If you’re curious what happened this episode, Rav Kook was officially elected Rebbe of Shir Bliss. He’s thrilled about the whole thing. Just look how happy he is.
Yasher koach,
once again,
from Jahrusalem.
Way to start things off with a nign that pops into my head at least once a week and/or whenever I try to recall any other nign from the depths.
Where is that Shir Merooba/Four Fold Song from?….It’s awesome…very unusual and creative.
It’s a piece from the new project HaOrot. Tzadik records just released the album. You can also have a listen on their myspace page http://www.myspace.com/orotharav
Hi, I love your podcast. I have been listening to it on the bus. I also do a podcast called Israel Beat. Just dropping you a note to say thanks for bring us some cool Jewish music.
