High Holy Days - LIVE

Live Recordings from Chicago Loop Synagogue - 1967


Unbeknownst to my father, in 1967, two years before his passing, a non-Jew was hired to record the entire High Holy Days Service (S'lichot, Rosh Hashanah, Kol Nidre, Yom Kippur Day).

Several selections of these live recordings are now being made public for the first time. I personally selected the selections from the original tapes that I believe gives the listener a good idea of his vocal range, his unique style, his improvisations and the chasidishe melodies he used in all his davining.

Two orthodox authorities gave permission for these selections to be heard publicly which were the wishes of the Waldman family. Please be aware that the over load of sound, at times, caused some diminution since it was not recorded in a sound studio and that the choir was not one that he worked with on a regular basis.
