Musical prayer project
Like most people on earth, my life has been upended by the coronavirus since early-to-mid March 2020. After my first couple of weeks of quarantine, I adopted a project for myself: I decided to record and post a video of a Jewish prayer each weekday morning, usually accompanied by some comments about it and why it is important to me. I have now been doing this project from the end of March through all of April and May into early June and am coming up on 50 videos. I plan to continue to record videos each weekday for as long as this health crisis lasts. The Jewish musical world is so vast that I am in no particular danger of running out of material. I adopted some general rules for myself. I generally record in one take, and I post it whether or not I am happy with it. I tell myself: these are prayers, not performances; the Audience (with a capital A) is graciously forgiving of my errors. I also have (with a few rare exceptions) not uploaded songs composed by people I know
