You don’t even have to know the songs (and most of them are melodies without words) to appreciate the love and joy that the men who got together to produce “Songs at a Table” had for their project.
The vision?
Simulate the experience of sitting at a Sabbath table, with no pressures of the workweek, and engage in uplifting, emotional songs to rejuvenate the spirit.
Mission accomplished.
I found myself uplifted and buoyant just by listening to them. I could FEEL their passion. Just remarkable.
Called the Niggun (a melody with out words) Project, the group donates all proceeds from their CD to a charity in Israel to help fee the hungry.
They got a nice write up in the Washington Jewish Week as well.
Jewish or not, Religious or not, give the music a listen.
No matter what, experiencing people who have a passion for their project is worth the time.
