Cantillation serves two essential functions; first, it allows the congregation to know without question which book is being read, and second, it allows the Law Interpreters (Gabbaiyim) to follow and keep place with the reader.

Is this Ashkenazi style the Lithuanian Tradition, or German Tradition?

Is that the same as yasher koach?

How do you know how to actually pronounce the words when the Torah scrolls don't have the vowels written down?

First Samuels one of the coolest books in the bible. Nothin like fighting philistines and amalakites

Chanting the story of the Hebrew days of high adventure!

Beautiful touched voice; please never stop chanting scriptures.

Info from the wiki article on the song: "No Man's Land" (also known as "The Green Fields of France" or "Willie McBride") is a song written in 1976 by Scottish-Australian singer-songwriter Eric Bogle. I just watched this video two more times. It gets better each time.

Beautifully done and very moving. Where's my darn Kleenex?

The meaning in this song is so deep... no funerals for the lost and the prisoners of war killed.

your voice is a gift. I could listen for hours. thanx

Ezeh Yophi! Yasher Koach! Chazak vAmatz! That was beautiful!

Do you sing this at Purim?

@tommyblackbear LOL; song????

The Willie McBride of the song was with 2 Batt Royal Inniskillen Fusiliers, 36 (Ulster) Division. He died at Thiepval on 1 July 1916 and is buried at Authuile Cemetery. A proud and loyal Ulsterman. For God and Ulster (FGAU)! Willie was actually 21 but the author confirmed that he was the subject of the song in an interview after the war.

I just found this video, and I must say it is very well done. Just superb. This is the only song I've ever listened to that makes me want to cry, and the video actually got me crying. Bravo.

(to smiskkekk) So this song has been played at your friend's funeral. Was he a soldier ?

I cry almost every time I hear this song, especially in the very end, with the bagpipe playing. LEST WE FORGET.

oh k cool thx =)

Well, yes and no. That was the intention: for him to go beyond being simply Willie McBride and be a symbol for all soldiers, known and unknown who died in the Great War. However, William McBride was a real person, a real soldier. He fought and died in the Great War in the 36th (Ulster) Infantry Division, for King and Country,.

me 2

excuse my ignorance but i thought "William McBride" was like the "soldier without a name" a symbol for all the unnamed fallen

I would be interested in reading this. send it to me?

Also, the drummer and piper looked a tad stiff/out of place. Maybe should have had a piper as well?

This is a REALLY good video, done very well and really captures the essence of the song. The only complaint (criticism, really) I have is that Willie McBride was a British soldier in the 36th Ulster Infantry Division, and you lot are wearing American uniforms...but really its not that big a deal, as I'm sure there was at least one American doughboy who died named William McBride.

That actually sounds fairly interesting, is this short story of yours posted anywhere?

I love this song so much that I adapted it into a short story. I included a bit at the end where the "Ghost" of Willie McBride salutes the characters. I'm told that the scene at the end nearly made one reader cry.

Good effort. Dubbing a voice is always tricky though especially when it wasn't the actors voice.

This vid is done very nicely. I perfectly catches the mood of the song and the pictures simply fit.

great video
