Contributed by: Courtney Schwartz. Close Every Door to Me by Andrew Lloyd Weber.

As a child, this musical was my favorite. It truly has it all – gripping storyline, beautiful harmonies, fun costumes, song genres ranging from country to go-go. But for decades the line “children of Israel are never alone” has stayed with me.

This is a great band I’ve been following for a few years. They are a New York based Americana/Bluegrass group created by the husband/wife team of Eric Lindberg and Doni Zasloff.

‘Tree of Life’ was a song they wrote after the shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh

They are open and vocal about their Jewish heritage and beautifully weave Jewish tradition and soul into their American roots music.They are on tour now! Go catch them if you can!

I did not expect to hear this song on an alternative music channel. The song helped cheer me up after a rough day at work. Even reading the comments on YouTube is uplifting.

I studied with the composer, Abraham Kaplan, when I lived in New York. He was originally from Israel and the best conductor I’ve ever known. His own compositions are from the Hebrew bible including a series of choral pieces based on psalms and also based on the kaddish. But I also sang other works with him including a requiem mass.

I first heard this singer sing the Star Spangled Banner at a 2024 Oct 7th memorial at Nationals Stadium. His voice is astonishing. He sings some beautiful, fun songs, but unfortunately, this particular song is a gut punch.

This is a healing prayer based on the mishaberach. I would love for us to sing it sometimes in CEH alternating with the Debbie Friedman tune we use now. It was especially popular in the early days of the COVID pandemic when healing was on everyone’s mind and singers could record their individual parts at home to be combined with submissions of others.
