BUILD THAT BRIDGE
Beth's newest release is her boldest project yet, a collection of positive music with depth - music that brings a sense of hope. The eleven amazing tracks on this CD rock with an undeniable spirit that speaks to listeners of all faiths. At first glance Build That Bridge seems like a "best-of" retrospective of Beth's first five CDs, but a closer look reveals much more. All new studio recordings of Beth's most popular hits like "A Way to Say Ah," "Lev b'Lev," and "Love Multiplies" mix with inspired new tunes such as the title track "Build That Bridge" and "Unsung." Also included is a powerful version of Beth's previously unreleased anthem "Children of Freedom" (recently sung by an interfaith choir at the installation of the new Dean of Westminster Abbey in London), and electrifying live concert versions of "In This House" and "Working for Shalom." Build That Bridge is Beth's finest work to date, and further establishes her as one of the best contemporary Jewish musicians on the scene today.

If you are looking for positive music to be the soundtrack of your day, Build That Bridge will leave you smiling, humming, and ready to take on the world!

DEEPER & DEEPER
In the words of David Paskin and Menachem Creditor, the hope of this recording is to “bring just a bit more joy into people’s lives, and that, as we all sing together, the light waiting to be released into this world might be felt – deeper and deeper.” This sentiment becomes a reality the moment you listen to these 12 spiritual Hebrew and English songs, each one crafted with intelligence, compassion, and love by Menachem and David, both rabbis. Their sources are Psalms, liturgy, and life experiences, coming together with beautiful melodies. Produced and engineered professionally and artfully by Josh Nelson, these songs are a gift. You will be drawn in by There Is Hope, Hallelu Yah, Ashrei Ha’ish, Da, Modeh Ani, Chazak, I Am Home, Olam, Shomeiah, La’asok, Bedtime Sh’ma, and Sha’alu Sh’lom “Live Version.”  Insightful personal reflections precede the lyrics, translations and transliterations for each song in the appealing CD booklet.

Resonant guitar chording soars above rhythmic drumming at turns sensitive, then intense. Above all, inspiring lyrics, and clear and engaging vocals join to draw the listener deeper and deeper. Da, Hallelu Yah, I Am Home.

HAMAKOM
Shirav members David Paskin, Menachem Creditor, Jonathan Kaplan, Dan Brown and Aaron Keigher make beautiful music together and share their messages of Torah (learning), Ruach (spirit), and Simcha (joy) with audiences around the country. This recent collaboration is a gift from the group “for all those who have lost a loved one” in the hopes that it will bring comfort and healing to those in need. In memory of his daughter Liat Chanina, who died of a very rare and aggressive brain tumor, David has put together a collection of powerful yet gentle songs. It is an honest and loving musical midrash of David’s own journey expressing the emotions and thoughts we all share when faced with grief. The beautiful CD booklet complete with detailed explanations of the primarily original songs, lyrics, translations, and textual citations compliments the uplifting and peaceful music. This is not an album of sadness – selections Liati’s Song, Job’s Niggun, Mizmor L’David, Esa Einai, Sacred Journey, Kel Maleh Rachamim, HaMakom, So We Begin Again, Footprints, We Remember Them and B’yado are respectful of death while honoring life.

We hope these beautiful songs can be a companion for those experiencing the difficult journey of grief. Mizmor L’David, Footprints, HaMakom.
