Contributed by: Bruce A. Gold. Samachti Bi’Omri Li – Psalm 122 by Composer Cantor Charles D. Osborne.
The most beautiful music I ever sang in choir was written by Cantor Charles Osborne when he was cantor at Temple Emanuel in Newton, MA. It is his setting of Psalm 122, also known as the Pilgrim’s Psalm, which is most fitting as we celebrate a holiday of pilgrimage to the Temple in Jerusalem. I have included the Hebrew & English text and music and a youtube link. I hope you enjoy it. Cantor Osborne has written a substantial body of music for synagogue services and most of it is accessible to the congregation and not cantorial showpieces. He continues his prolific career at Temple Sinai Congregation of Toronto:

This band broke up a while ago, unfortunately. They are named for the modesty stockings we see on Hassidic women. They have a great music sensibility, and a sound like no one else. It isn’t every day to hear Hassidic womens’ voices.
