Music of the Holy Temple, Part III
Mordechai and Esther did not stand by idly and wait, with perfect faith in G-d, for Divine intervention. When the going got rough, very rough, they stepped in and, with perfect faith in G-d, led the Jews of Persia. Their proactive leadership “inspired” Divine intervention, and the Jews won the day. Faith and action – this is the prototype for the ultimate redemption.
Dedication: Dedicated to the holy community of Itamar

Music of the Holy Temple, Part II
The music of the Holy Temple was indeed the sweetest music on earth, and that is because it was the Levitical expression of the music of heaven. The music of the Levitical Choir and Orchestra was an integral part of the Divine service of the Holy Temple. Every day of the year, Shabbat and festival holidays included, the music of the Levites was heard in the Temple courtyards and throughout Jerusalem. What kind of music was played? What part did the music play in the Divine service? What instruments were used and how was the Levitical orchestra formulated? What will the music of the rebuilt Holy Temple sound like? In this five part Light to the Nations series, Rabbi Chaim Richman and musicologist Rabbi David Louis explore the music of the Holy Temple, a fascinating and sublimely beautiful aspect of the Divine service.
