Renewal<\/h1>\n

Abraham<\/strong>
\nThe story of the \u201cbinding of Isaac,\u201d when God tested Abraham by commanding him to sacrifice his son.<\/p>\n

New Year\u2019s Prayer<\/strong>
\nLet it be your will, God of our fathers and mothers, to renew us and grant us a good and sweet year.<\/p>\n

Kuando il rey Nimrod<\/strong>
\nKing Nimrod walks in his fields and foresees the birth of Abraham and the coming of the Jewish people.<\/p>\n

Ahar nogenim\/Seu shearim (songs for Simhat torah) —<\/strong> (Instrumental)<\/p>\n

La Kreasyon (The Creation)<\/strong>
\nGod created the world, the light, the waters, and all its creatures, and commanded that we rest on the Sabbath.<\/p>\n

La Kapara (A song for Yom Kippur)<\/strong>
\nThe grandfather comes at 5 a.m. on the Day of Atonement, for the first ritual of the day, but the little girl says, \u201cLet me sleep; God will forgive me!\u201d<\/p>\n

Hope<\/h1>\n

Avridme, galanika<\/strong>
\nA dialogue between a young man and young woman: He would like her to open the door and let him in, but she provides several reasons why that wouldn\u2019t be a great idea.<\/p>\n

Yo hanino<\/strong>
\nAnother courtship dialogue: I\u2019m handsome, you\u2019re beautiful, so let\u2019s get married; our children will be like the sun and the moon!<\/p>\n

Tres hermanikas<\/strong>
\nTwo of his daughters are married, but the third is (to the father) something of a problem. His solution: Build a tower for her on the island of Rhodes. There she waits for love\u2026<\/p>\n

Madres amargadas<\/strong> — (instrumental)<\/p>\n

Sien drahmas<\/strong>
\nA young man says to his beloved that he makes 100 drachmas a day, enough to support both of them. He suggests that they move to Palestine to escape the pain and terror that lurks.<\/p>\n

La komida la manyana<\/strong>
\nA mother-daughter dialogue in which the young woman waits on the balcony, hoping for love. Her mother warns her that it\u2019s not like the olden days; now men just want to take advantage of young women!<\/p>\n
