Songs for Chazzan - עוד חזן למועד - שירים לחזן


Kabalat Shabbos

Yedid Nefesh

Moshe veAharaon - we could do it together with the congregation, as they do it in Eretz Yisroel

Lecho Dodi: Slow, Shabbos Nachamu-type song, like 

Lo Sevoshi - wedding dance song: Yossi Freylich's choice?

Tzadik kaTomor

Edosecho ne-emenu me-od

At the end of במה מדליקין: למען אחי ורעי

Before the Amida: the new ושמרו

Together: ונאמר והיה השם למלך

Yigdal - your brother who is singing אנעים זמירות?

 

Shacharit

Read: One Day, the Nations Will Know - Mishpacha Magazine

Listen: Levy Falkowitz | לוי פלקוביץ | יוודע בגוים לעינינו נקמת דם עבדיך השפוך, תבוא לפניך אנקת אסיר כגדל זרועך הותר בני תמותה, והשב לשכנינו שבעתיים אל חיקם חרפתם אשר חרפוך… | Instagram and תבוא לפניך אנקת אסיר - YouTube


אין כערכך ואין זולתך

Start with the intro to אנקת אסיר


Continue this song by starting the actual song at א-ל אדון על כל המעשים


We need to rehearse our respective parts for when we reach: אור חדש על ציון תאיר, which is to the tune of בן ציון שענקער זצ"ל

07-אור חדש - only listen until 1:40 - as this is all we need to sing this time.

שירים לתפלות יום טוב 

ממקומך: אליך השם אקרא קרליבך


The song of leading the Chosen to the Chuppah can be laid on to: צור ישרא-ל קומה בעזרת ישרא-ל


You may choose to sing the traditional שים שלום at Shacharis or at Musaph - not at both...


For ממקומך I would like to do Yossi Green's song on קנא לשמך נורא ונקדש, which has a nice crescendo


I hope to manage the rendition of the traditional אין כמוך at my own pitch but feel free to join...


Mimkomecho - Nachamu by Shlomo Carlebach - ממקומו - נחמו משלימה קארלעבאך

Musaf

For returning the Safer Torah, let's try מי האיש החפץ חיים for עץ חיים היא

Start נעריצך with the tradional Nusach of United Synagogue(?)

For כבודו מלא עולם - the first part of אם אשכח ירושלים

For ממקומו הוא יפן - the second part: אם לא אעלה את ירושלם

For שמע ישראל let's try the traditional one - not the Chabadtzke one

אין כא' אין כאדוננו: עושה שלום במרומיו - כהמשך של סיום קדיש תתקבל

If you finish קדיש תתקבל with the Israeli song עושה שלום במרומיו, we can move straight into אין כא-להנו אין כאדוננו  with the same song - it will make a perfect fit!

Yossi Freylich's young brother is doing אנעים זמירות - please stay on the בימה as you still need to sing אדון עולם

For אדון עולם they very much like another Israeli song: ירושלים של זהב


At the Kidush: Perhaps we could sit together for just enough time to sing לכל קהלא קדישא הדין together

Safety and Security

Break ins in Stamford Hill and how to prevent it:

Chaverim, Shomrin & Hazolo to work in tandem to safeguard the empty houses on the Hill.

Shomrim suggests: Install Lock with Chubb

Chaverim suggests: Team of three people to jointly walk around every night a different street and drop a leaflet in every door that is not chubbed.

Tziyon & Beis Hamedrash of Sir Reb Moshe Montefiore Zt"l will be open every year on his Yahrzeit 16th Menachem-Av until 6:00pm and the subsequent two days from 12:00pm until 4:00pm.  Postcode is: CT11 8A

London Luton Airport 

In Luton Airport you'll find a weighing scale for suitcases and other pieces of luggage.  Do not pay a penny to use it, as the contraption is too small for regular suitcases, hence the weight is registered completely wrong.

Use the Luton DART Direct Air-Rail shuttle, which will take you from Luton Airport to King's Cross within less than 30 minutes. See: ww.lutondart.com.

Whenever you travel during a holiday period (e.g. schools are closed for half-term or summer holidays), add another hour to the start of to your itinerary.  This is so you arrive in the airport with ample time to queue up for checking in - whether or not you have a suitcase.

No need to keep a One Pound Coin in your pocket, when travelling via Terminal Five of Heathrow Airport, for the following two reasons:

1. Because trolleys are free of charge and 

2. The coin will cause you a delay at the security checking gates...

When you arrive to your destination, wait at least fifteen minutes before switching your mobile from Aeroplane Mode to the General Profile.  This will save you ten minutes of anxiety, when you start panicking if your mobile will work in the country you arrived in or not.

When travelling with a disabled person, the need to take off shoes or walk through the magnetic security gate is waived - throughout all UK airports.

For deliveries of lost or delayed luggage on British Airways flights in Austria, call CLS - INFO@CLS-OVERNIGHT.DE 0049 511 51527780

Have a safe trip!
