Web Communication: "Sign - Sign - anywhere A Sign"

Web Communication: "Sign - Sign - anywhere A Sign"

Your firm success depends on your potential to retell effectively to an curious audience. Driving thorough traffic to your site is important, but the tactics that create visitors are not the same tactics that get visitors to stay on your site.

Websites that consistently under perform and that don't meet firm expectations generally suffer because they are not designed to hold viewers concentration long sufficient to retell a clear concise marketing message.

Web-communication is a series of account for multi-sensory sign languages; signs being the words, images, Audio and videos that constitute the range of presentation vehicles that like all forms of transportation have their own grammar, context, and relevance as interpreted from personal caress by each member of your customer-audience.

When Words Lose Their Meaning

Marketing is one of those words that has lost its currency because it has been tossed about with puny respect for its meaning. To many, it's merely just other word for advertising, which of course it is not. To the more sophisticated it takes in all the disciplines of branding, positioning, identity, advertising, and more. Above all marketing implies a strategic advent to implementing these tactics.

For associates curious in using the Web to supplementary their firm objectives, Web-marketing is the execution of a transportation strategy through the creative implementation of multi-sensory signature presentations.

Semiotics: The Study of Signs

"Sign, Sign, everywhere a sign,

Blocking out the scenery breaking my mind,

Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign."

- Five Man Electrical Band

Like the lyrics of the song, 'Signs,' by the Five Man Electrical Band' suggests, we are surrounded by signs, the interpretation of which creates our reality. The study of signs and how meaning is derived from them is called 'semiotics.'

We are bombarded by signs, not just images, but the words, voicing, gestures, posture, attire, and Movements of the messengers, as well as the music and sound effects that accompany the presentation; not to mention the chosen media itself.

Each of these elements is a language all its own. And like all forms of language if you don't learn the rules, the grammar and syntax, you can't retell coherently.

Fear of Meaning

Most firm transportation is shrouded in a haze of protective ambiguity caused by the fear of manufacture a decisive statement of who you are, and what you stand for. This kind of defensive reasoning may safe your firm from some criticism, but it also distances you from your real audience, citizen and businesses that could be responsive to what you have to offer.

Advertisements, videos, images and copy designed to not offend, will fail to retell meaning and if what you have to say is not meaningful, how can you expect your audience to respond? Bland royalty-free images, stock video clips, and talking-head presentations of statistics and specifications will guarantee all the money you spent on generating traffic will go down the drain as visitors leave faster than they arrive.

Instead of just seeing at how many hits your website is getting each week, take a look at how long they are staying on your site. If citizen are leaving within a few seconds of arriving, then they have determined you have nothing to offer them, which may or may not be true. You need your website visitors to stay long sufficient to get the essence of your marketing message and if they aren't, then maybe it's time to rethink the message and how it's being delivered.

A puny Yiddish May Help

Yiddish is a language of idiom, of colloquial metaphor, a series of expressions that by definite interpretation of the words mean little, but through the coarse caress and relevance of the listener mean more than mere words can imply.

In Yiddish there are many ways to tell somebody to 'drop dead,' not a very nice thing to say to someone, but a sentiment that is often expressed anyway.

So how then do you tell person how you feel without resorting to the crude direct approach? In Yiddish you would use one of the many expressions ready such as, "zolst vaksn vi a tzibele mitn kop in dr'erd!" which literally means "may you grow like an onion with your head in the ground," a far more colorful, poetic turn of phrase with humorous undertones that softens the intensity of the raw meaning.

Our daily language is full of idiom and metaphor and for the most part we don't even notice. If we want to outwit our competition, we instruct our staff to "take no prisoners" and if we are successful we 'blew them away;' firm often resorts to war metaphors to emphasize the enormity of the stakes complex in firm initiatives, or should I say 'campaigns.'

And it is not just written and verbal transportation that is perpetually encased in a cocoon of evocative metaphor. Optic communication, including images and video, has its own idiomatic metaphorical sign language that helps retell a message in meaningful short-hand. The producers of 30-second Tv commercials are scholar in this style of communication, how else can a perfect marketing story be told in 30 seconds?

Relevance of Character and Situation

When we create Web-video commercials we need to tell a story that the audience can retell to. This story should be a metaphor that draws upon the audience's own experiences, and if done properly it should allow the viewer to let down their natural sales defense mechanism and let the humanity of the characters and situation penetrate on a meaningful human level. This style of presentation makes the point and delivers the message in a much more productive manner than a hit-you-over-the-head, hard sell style commercial, or a meaningless exhortation of firm platitudes.

Dr. Satoshi Kanazawa, a sociology professor at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand, in the 'Psychology Today' article, 'Friends In Cerebral Places' by Kaja Perina states: "The human brain is hardwired to write back to stimuli as it did in its ancestral environment, where television and movies didn't exist. Kanazawa says that we have evolved to believe that 'all realistic images of citizen you encounter repeatedly are friends and family.'

In the environment of evolutionary adaptedness there was no one-way acquaintance, as there is today with celebrities."

The implication of Kanazawa's explore for the Web-marketer is significant. If you as marketers can create websites and webmedia presentations populated with ongoing characters to which your Web-audience can relate, then you have solved the biggest obstacle in the Web-sales process: lack of trust.

People buy things from citizen they trust, citizen they know and like, and citizen to whom they can relate. You can produce this relationship with a continuous campaign of Audio and video presentations delivered by characters representing your company's personality, delivering a message that improves your audience's lives or firm interests.

The Familiarity of Presentation Genres

An productive Web-commercial must touch your audience in some way. One method that we use to make this relationship is through the exploitation of genres.

Genres are storytelling formats with built-in conventions, rules and guidelines. These conventions contribute a communication-shorthand allowing Web-storytellers to deliver rich article in an prudent use of time and space.

Since the audience already understands what the conventions of the recognizable genre are, resources need not be wasted establishing a frame-of-reference that is built into the genre itself.

It is here that the Web-commercial producer must enlarge the view of genres beyond that which is regularly understood. Every person understands the western, detective, romance, and sitcom styles of storytelling genres, but genres exist beyond the confines of literature, movies, and television series. Genres also exist in the truncated world of television market storytelling. Take for instance the current ubiquitous series of Macintosh television commercials that have been copied numerous times by many citizen on the Web and even on television itself.

The use of genres as a method of presenting Web-commercials provides a set of expectations for the viewer or what has been referred to as 'cultural capital.' While the recognition of the customary provides a connection, its creative manipulation provides enjoyment and more importantly aids memory and enhances recall. You can see an example of this genre manipulation at the link in case,granted at the end of this article.

The bottom Line

If real estate is about, 'location, location, location' then websites are about, 'communication, communication, communication.' The skillful Web-marketer will understand this and use their website the way it was always supposed to be used, as a means of communication; but that transportation no longer has to be delivered in mere text form, but rather it can now be delivered using all the multi-sensory media tools available. The caveat, of course, is knowing how to use these tools properly

Iq will get you into Mensa but it won't make you a Mensch. That's right, cognitive intelligence might qualify you for Mensa International, an organization that requires a score of, at least, 132 on the Stanford-Binit intelligence scale, but it won't improve your character or add to your dignity. Mensa qualification is "rare air territory," only 2 percent of the citizen are known to have intelligence levels that would qualify them for Mensa.

A Mensch, on the other hand, is a Yiddish term describing a person to be admired. Leo Roston, author of "The Joys of Yiddish" defines mensch as "someone to admire and emulate, person of noble character. The key to being "a real mensch" is nothing less than character, rectitude, dignity, a sense of what is right, responsible, decorous."

Meet Hanukkah - Holiday History, The Menorah, Dreidel And customary Hanukkah Gifts

Hanukkah or the Romanized rendering, Chanukah, also known as the Festival of Lights, is an eight-day Jewish holiday commemorating the re-dedication of the Jewish Holy Temple (the second one) in Jerusalem at the time of the Maccabean Revolt of the 2nd century Bce. It is observed for eight nights, starting on the 25th day of Kislev on the Hebrew calendar; this occurs at any time from late November to late December in the Gregorian calendar.

A remarked into history:

Yiddish

When the Second Temple in Jerusalem was looted and the services stopped, Judaism became outlawed. In 167 Bce the evil Antiochus ordered an altar to Zeus to be built inside the Temple. He banned circumcision and ordered pigs to be sacrificed at the temple's altar. Antiochus's actions proved to be something of a miscalculation as they were disobeyed by the Jews and provoked a large-scale revolt. Mattathias, a Jewish priest, and his five sons Jochanan, Simeon, Eleazar, Jonathan, and Judah led a rebellion against Antiochus.

Meet Hanukkah - Holiday History, The Menorah, Dreidel And customary Hanukkah Gifts

Judah became known as Yehuda HaMakabi ("Judah the Hammer"). By 166 Bce Mattathias died, and Judah took his place as leader. By 165 Bce the Jewish revolt against the Seleucid monarchy was successful. The Temple was liberated and rededicated. The aged Jewish historian, Flavius Josephus narrates in his book Jewish Antiquities Xii, how the Jewish warrior, Judas Maccabbeus ordered lavish annual eight-day festivities after rededicating the Temple in Jerusalem which had been profaned by Antiochus Iv Epiphanes, the Syrian Hellenist enemy of the Jewish Country:

"Now Judas notable the festival of the recovery of the sacrifices of the temple for eight days, and omitted no sort of pleasures thereon; but he feasted them upon very rich and marvelous sacrifices; and he honored God, and deLighted them by hymns and psalms. Nay, they were so very glad at the revival of their customs, when, after a long time of intermission, they unexpectedly had regained the relaxation of their worship, that they made it a law for their posterity, that they should keep a festival, on inventory of the recovery of their temple worship, for eight days."

The Menorah:

This holiday is observed by the kindling of the Lights of a very extra candelabrum, the nine-branched Menorah or Hanukiah. One further Light is lit on each night of the holiday, progressing to eight on the final night. An extra light called a "shamash" is also lit each night for the purpose of lighting the others, and is given a inevitable location, above or below the rest, or in the center. The Hanukkah menorah, in discrepancy to the biblical seven-branched menorah used in Holy Temple services, is a nine-branched candelabrum. In the English-speaking diaspora - that means Jewish population surface the land of Israel - the Lamp is all the time known as "menorah," whereas in modern Hebrew it is exclusively known as "Chanukkiyah". The term chanukkiyah was coined at the end of the nineteenth century by the wife of Eliezer Ben Yehuda, notable for reviving the Hebrew language in making ready for the founding of the modern State of Israel.

The Dreidel:

The holiday of Hanukkah is also marked by the playing of a extra game called, "Dreidel". The dreidel is a four-sided spinning top. Each side is imprinted with a Hebrew letter. These letters are an acronym for the Hebrew words meaning "A great miracle happened there", referring of policy to the miracle of the oil that took place in the Beit Hamikdash. In Israel, the sides of the dreidel rehearse the acronym for, "A great miracle happened here" - alluding to the return of the Jews to their homeland.

Customs and Hanukkah gifts:

One of the most popular holiday customs is eating foods fried or foods baked in oil (preferably olive oil), because the miracle of the Hanukkah menorah complicated the discovery of a small flask of pure olive oil used by the Jewish High Priest. This small batch of olive oil was only supposed to last one day, and instead it lasted eight. In the Yiddish, Ashkenazi tradition, latkes are potato pancakes, fried in olive oil. They are Great with apple sauce. Similarly Sephardic Jews eat jelly-stuffed doughnuts which are fried in oil. Hanukkah, like Christmas, is also a time to give and receive gifts. The archetypal gift to give children is Hanukkah "gelt" which is Yiddish for money. Then the Kids may play dreidel and gamble with their gelt. If you prefer a gift that doesn't encourage gambling at a young age, you can all the time find candies gift wrapped in the shape of a dreidel, and for Bar Mitzvah boys a new silver Hanukia is a very common present.

Web Communication: "Sign - Sign - everywhere A Sign"

Your company success depends on your quality to quote effectively to an curious audience. Driving standard traffic to your site is important, but the tactics that originate visitors are not the same tactics that get visitors to stay on your site.

Websites that consistently under accomplish and that don't meet company expectations generally suffer because they are not designed to hold viewers attention long sufficient to quote a clear brief marketing message.

Yiddish

Web-communication is a series of illustrate multi-sensory sign languages; signs being the words, images, Audio and videos that constitute the range of presentation vehicles that like all forms of transportation have their own grammar, context, and relevance as interpreted from personal perceive by each member of your customer-audience.

Web Communication: "Sign - Sign - everywhere A Sign"

When Words Lose Their Meaning

Marketing is one of those words that has lost its currency because it has been tossed about with microscopic respect for its meaning. To many, it's merely just someone else word for advertising, which of procedure it is not. To the more sophisticated it takes in all the disciplines of branding, positioning, identity, advertising, and more. Above all marketing implies a strategic approach to implementing these tactics.

For clubs curious in using the Web to additional their company objectives, Web-marketing is the operation of a transportation strategy through the creative implementation of multi-sensory signature presentations.

Semiotics: The Study of Signs

"Sign, Sign, in any place a sign,

Blocking out the landscape breaking my mind,

Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign."

- Five Man Electrical Band

Like the lyrics of the song, 'Signs,' by the Five Man Electrical Band' suggests, we are surrounded by signs, the interpretation of which creates our reality. The study of signs and how meaning is derived from them is called 'semiotics.'

We are bombarded by signs, not just images, but the words, voicing, gestures, posture, attire, and Movements of the messengers, as well as the music and sound effects that accompany the presentation; not to mention the chosen media itself.

Each of these elements is a language all its own. And like all forms of language if you don't learn the rules, the grammar and syntax, you can't quote coherently.

Fear of Meaning

Most company transportation is shrouded in a haze of protective ambiguity caused by the fear of production a decisive statement of who you are, and what you stand for. This kind of defensive thinking may protect your company from some criticism, but it also distances you from your real audience, habitancy and businesses that could be responsive to what you have to offer.

Advertisements, videos, images and copy designed to not offend, will fail to quote meaning and if what you have to say is not meaningful, how can you expect your audience to respond? Bland royalty-free images, stock video clips, and talking-head presentations of statistics and specifications will guarantee all the money you spent on generating traffic will go down the drain as visitors leave faster than they arrive.

Instead of just finding at how many hits your website is getting each week, take a look at how long they are staying on your site. If habitancy are leaving within a few seconds of arriving, then they have determined you have nothing to offer them, which may or may not be true. You need your website visitors to stay long sufficient to get the essence of your marketing message and if they aren't, then maybe it's time to rethink the message and how it's being delivered.

A microscopic Yiddish May Help

Yiddish is a language of idiom, of colloquial metaphor, a series of expressions that by literal, interpretation of the words mean little, but through the base perceive and relevance of the listener mean more than mere words can imply.

In Yiddish there are many ways to tell somebody to 'drop dead,' not a very nice thing to say to someone, but a sentiment that is often expressed anyway.

So how then do you tell person how you feel without resorting to the crude direct approach? In Yiddish you would use one of the many expressions available such as, "zolst vaksn vi a tzibele mitn kop in dr'erd!" which actually means "may you grow like an onion with your head in the ground," a far more colorful, poetic turn of phrase with humorous undertones that softens the intensity of the raw meaning.

Our daily language is full of idiom and metaphor and for the most part we don't even notice. If we want to outwit our competition, we instruct our staff to "take no prisoners" and if we are thriving we 'blew them away;' company often resorts to war metaphors to emphasize the enormity of the stakes complicated in company initiatives, or should I say 'campaigns.'

And it is not just written and verbal transportation that is perpetually encased in a cocoon of evocative metaphor. Optical communication, along with images and video, has its own idiomatic metaphorical sign language that helps quote a message in meaningful short-hand. The producers of 30-second Tv commercials are specialist in this style of communication, how else can a faultless marketing story be told in 30 seconds?

Relevance of Character and Situation

When we originate Web-video commercials we need to tell a story that the audience can quote to. This story should be a metaphor that draws upon the audience's own experiences, and if done properly it should allow the viewer to let down their natural sales defense mechanism and let the humanity of the characters and situation lanch on a meaningful human level. This style of presentation makes the point and delivers the message in a much more sufficient manner than a hit-you-over-the-head, hard sell style commercial, or a meaningless exhortation of company platitudes.

Dr. Satoshi Kanazawa, a sociology professor at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand, in the 'Psychology Today' article, 'Friends In Cerebral Places' by Kaja Perina states: "The human brain is hardwired to talk to stimuli as it did in its ancestral environment, where television and movies didn't exist. Kanazawa says that we have evolved to believe that 'all realistic images of habitancy you encounter repeatedly are friends and family.'

In the environment of evolutionary adaptedness there was no one-way acquaintance, as there is today with celebrities."

The implication of Kanazawa's explore for the Web-marketer is significant. If you as marketers can originate websites and webmedia presentations populated with ongoing characters to which your Web-audience can relate, then you have solved the biggest obstacle in the Web-sales process: lack of trust.

People buy things from habitancy they trust, habitancy they know and like, and habitancy to whom they can relate. You can create this relationship with a continuous campaign of Audio and video presentations delivered by characters representing your company's personality, delivering a message that improves your audience's lives or company interests.

The Familiarity of Presentation Genres

An sufficient Web-commercial must touch your audience in some way. One recipe that we use to make this relationship is through the exploitation of genres.

Genres are storytelling formats with built-in conventions, rules and guidelines. These conventions Supply a communication-shorthand allowing Web-storytellers to deliver rich article in an economical use of time and space.

Since the audience already understands what the conventions of the recognizable genre are, resources need not be wasted establishing a frame-of-reference that is built into the genre itself.

It is here that the Web-commercial producer must strengthen the thought of genres beyond that which is regularly understood. Everybody understands the western, detective, romance, and sitcom styles of storytelling genres, but genres exist beyond the confines of literature, movies, and television series. Genres also exist in the truncated world of television commercial storytelling. Take for instance the current ubiquitous series of Macintosh television commercials that have been copied numerous times by many habitancy on the Web and even on television itself.

The use of genres as a recipe of presenting Web-commercials provides a set of expectations for the viewer or what has been referred to as 'cultural capital.' While the recognition of the customary provides a connection, its creative manipulation provides enjoyment and more importantly aids memory and enhances recall. You can see an example of this genre manipulation at the link in case,granted at the end of this article.

The lowest Line

If real estate is about, 'location, location, location' then websites are about, 'communication, communication, communication.' The skillful Web-marketer will understand this and use their website the way it was all the time supposed to be used, as a means of communication; but that transportation no longer has to be delivered in mere text form, but rather it can now be delivered using all the multi-sensory media tools available. The caveat, of course, is knowing how to use these tools properly

Jewish Music

What Is Jewish Music?

Jewish music can be studied from many diversified points of view. Among them historical, liturgical and non-liturgical music of the Hebrews dating from the pre-Biblical times (Pharaonic Egypt); religious music at the first and second Solomon's Temples; musical activities immediately following the Exodus; the seemingly impoverished religious musical activities during the early middle ages; the emergence of the conception of Jewish Music in the mid-19th century; its nation-oriented sense as coined by the landmark book Jewish Music in its Historical development (1929) by A. Z. Idelsohn (1882-1938) and finally as the art and popular music of Israel.

Yiddish

Early emergences of Jewish musical themes and of what may be called "the idea of being Jew" in European music can be first seen in the works of Salamone Rossi (1570-1630). Following that they appear somewhat shaded in the works of the grandson of the well known Jewish philosopher Moses Mendelssohn(1729-1786): Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847).

Jewish Music

Fromental Halevy's (1799-1862) opera La Juive and its occasional use of some Jewish themes is opposed to the lack of "anything Jew" in his approximately modern fellow composer Jacques Offenbach (1819-1880) who was surely Jew and grew up in level Jewish tradition.

Interestingly the St. Petersburg community for Jewish Music led by the composer-critic Joel Engel (1868-1927) reports on how they discovered their Jewish roots. They were inspired by the Nationalistic Movement in the Russian Music personified by Rimsky-Korsakov, Cesar Cui and others, and records how set out to the Shtetls and meticulously recorded and transcribed thousands of Yiddish folksongs.

Ernst Bloch's (1880-1959) Schelomo for cello and orchestra and specially the Sacred Service for orchestra, choir and soloists are attempts to create a "Jewish Requiem".

Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco (1895-1968)'s Sephardic upbringings and their influences on his music as they appear in his Second Violin Concerto and in many of his songs and choral works; cantatas Naomi and Ruth, Queen of Shiba and in the oratorio The Book of Jonah among others are worth noting as well.

Many scholars did not missed the Synagogue motives and melodies borrowed by George Gershwin in his Porgy and Bess. Gershwin biographer Edward Jablonski has claimed that the melody to "It Ain't Necessarily So" was taken from the Haftarah blessing and others have attributed it to the Torah blessing.

In Gershwin's some 800 songs, allusions to Jewish music have been detected by other observers as well. One musicologist detected "an uncanny resemblance" between the folk tune "Havenu Shalom Aleichem" and the spiritual "It Take a Long Pull to Get There".

Most notcied modern Israeli composers are Chaya Czernowin, Betty Olivera, Tsippi Fleisher, Mark Kopytman, Yitzhak Yedid.

There are also very foremost works by non-Jew composers in the Jewish music. Maurice Ravel with his Kaddish for violin and piano based on a former liturgical melody and Max Bruch's paramount arrangement of the Yom Kippur prayer Kol Nidrei for cello and orchestra are among the best known.

Sergei Prokofieff's Overture sur des Themes Juives for string quartet, piano and clarinet clearly displays its inspirational sources in non-religious Jewish music. The melodic, modal, rhythmical materials and the use of the clarinet as a foremost melodic instrument is a very typical sound in folk and non-religious Jewish music.

Dmitri Shostakovich was deeply influenced by Jewish music as well. This can be seen in many of his compositions, most notably in the song cycle From Jewish Folk Poetry, and in the Second Piano Trio. However his most outstanding gift to the Jewish culture is without doubt the 13th. Symphony "Babi Yar".

How Many Jewish Musics?

The world-wide dispersion of the Jews following the Exodus and its three main communities create the basic kayout of the world-wide Jewish music. Those communities in their geographical dispersion exterior all continents and their unique relations with local communities have given birth to discrete kinds of music as well as languages and customs.

Following the exile, agreeing to geographical settlements, Jews formed three main branches: Ashkenazi, Sephardi and Mizrahi.

Roughly they are located as follows: Ashkenazi in Eastern and Western Europe, the Balkans, (to a lesser extend) in Turkey and Greece; Sephardi in Spain, Maroc, North Africa and later in the Ottoman Empire (Turkey); Mizrahi in Lebanon, Syria, East Asia, Iraq, Yemen, Egypt.

The music of those communities naturally entered into palpate with local traditions and evolved accordingly.

Ashkenazi and the Klezmer

"Ashkenazi" refers to Jews who in the 9.th century started to rule on the banks of the Rhine.
Today the term "Ashkenazi" prescription most of the European and Western Jews.

Besides the Hebrew, Yiddish is ordinarily used in speech and songs.

The former Ashkenazi music, originated in Eastern Europe, Moved to all directions from there and created the main subject of Jewish Music in North America. It includes the paramount Klezmer music. Klezmer means "instruments of song", from the Hebrew word klei zemer. The word come to prescription the musician himself and it is somehow analogous to the European troubadour.

Klezmer is a very popular genre which can be seen in Hasidic and Ashkenazic Judaism, it is However deeply linked with the Ashkenazi tradition.

Around the 15th century, a tradition of secular Jewish music was industrialized by musicians called kleyzmorim or kleyzmerim. They draw on devotional traditions extending back into Biblical times, and their musical patrimony of klezmer continues to evolve today. The repertoire is largely dance songs for weddings and other celebrations. Due to the Ashkenazi lineage of this music, the lyrics, terminology and song titles are typically in Yiddish.

Originally naming the musicians themselves in mid-20th Century the word started to recognize a musical genre, it is also sometimes referred to as "Yiddish" music.

Sephardi

"Sephardi" surely means Spanish, and prescription Jews from in general Spain but also North Africa, Greece and Egypt.

Following the expulsion of all non-Christians, forced to convert to Christianism or to the exile in 1492, the very rich, cultivated and fruitful Jewish culture existing in Spain has migrated massively into the Ottoman Empire formed the main brach of Jews living currently in Turkey.

Their language besides the Hebrew is called Ladino. Ladino is a 15th. Century of Spanish. Much of their musical repertoire is in that language. The Sephardi music mixes many elements from former Arab, North African, Turkish idioms.

In medieval Spain, "canciones" being performed at the royal courts constitued the basis of the Sephardic music.

Spiritual, ceremonial and entertainment songs all coexists in Sephardic music. Lyrics are ordinarily Hebrew for religious songs and Ladino for others.

The genre in its spread to North Africa, Turkey, Greece, the Balkans and Egypt assimilated many musical elements. Including the North African high-pitched, extended ululations; Balkan rhythms, for instance in 9/8 time; and the Turkish maqam modes.

Woman voice is often preferred while the instruments included the "oud" and "qanun" which are not traditionally Jewish instruments.

Some popular Sephardic music has been released as market recordings in the early 20th Century. Among the first popular singers of the genre were men and included the Turks Jack Mayesh, Haim Efendi and Yitzhak Algazi. Later, a new generation of singers arose, many of whom were not themselves Sephardic. Gloria Levy, Pasharos Sefardíes and Flory Jagoda.

Mizrahi

"Mizrahi" means Eastern and refers to Jews of Eastern Mediterranean and supplementary to the East.

The music also mixes local traditions. surely a very "eastern flavored" musical tradition which encompasses Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq and as east as India.

Middle Eastern percussion instruments share an foremost part with the violin in typical Mizrahi songs. The music is commonly high pitched in general.

In Israel today Mizrahi music is very popular.

A "Muzika Mizrahit" Movement emerged in the 1950s. Mostly with with performers from the ethnic neighborhoods of Israel: the Yemenite "Kerem HaTemanim" neighborhood of Tel Aviv, Moroccan, Iranian and Iraqi immigrants - who played at weddings and other events.

Songs were performed in Hebrew but with a clear Arabic style on former Arabic instruments: the "Oud", the "Kanun", and the "darbuka".

Classic Hebrew literature, Including liturgical texts and poems by medieval Hebrew poets constitued the main source of lyrics.

Music in Jewish Liturgy

There are a wide collection of, sometimes conflicting, writings on all aspects of using music in the Judaic liturgy. The most agreed-upon facts are that the women voice should be excluded from religious ceremony and the usage of musical instruments should be banned in Synagogue service.

However some Rabbinical authorities soften those level positions but not concerning the exclusion of the female voice. In weddings, for instance, the Talmudic statement "to gladden the groom and bride with music" can be seen as a way to allow making instrumental and non-religious music at the weddings but this was probably to be done exterior the Synagogue.

The very influential writings of the Spanish Rabbi, also a doctor and philosopher, Maimonides (1135-1204) on one hand opposed harshly against all form of music not totally at the assistance of religious worship and on the other hand recommended instrumental music for its medical Powers.

Healing Powers and mysterious formul private inside musical scores was ordinarily sought after in music scores during middle-ages, renaissance and pre-Baroque epochs. Interestingly, in a recently published fiction novel "Imprimatur" by the musicologist Rita Monaldi and co-author Francesco Solti the whole plot is built-up around a aggregate of Salomone Rossi (1570-1630), an foremost Jewish composer.

Jewish mystical treatises, like the Kabbala, particularly since the 13th. Century often deal with ethical, magical and therapeutic powers of music. The enhancement of the religious palpate with music, particularly with singing is expressed in many places.

Even though there is no unified position concerning music in the Jewish conception a base main ideas seems to emerge: that the music is the authentic expression of human feelings in religious and secular life.

Their language besides the Hebrew is called Ladino. Ladino is a 15th. Century of Spanish. Much of their musical repertoire is in that language. The Sephardi music mixes many elements from primary Arab, North African, Turkish idioms.

In medieval Spain, "canciones" being performed at the royal courts constitued the basis of the Sephardic music.

Spiritual, ceremonial and entertainment songs all coexists in Sephardic music. Lyrics are commonly Hebrew for religious songs and Ladino for others.

The genre in its spread to North Africa, Turkey, Greece, the Balkans and Egypt assimilated many musical elements. Including the North African high-pitched, extended ululations; Balkan rhythms, for instance in 9/8 time; and the Turkish maqam modes.

Woman voice is often beloved while the instruments included the "oud" and "qanun" which are not traditionally Jewish instruments.

Some popular Sephardic music has been released as commercial recordings in the early 20th Century. Among the first popular singers of the genre were men and included the Turks Jack Mayesh, Haim Efendi and Yitzhak Algazi. Later, a new generation of singers arose, many of whom were not themselves Sephardic. Gloria Levy, Pasharos Sefardíes and Flory Jagoda.

Mizrahi

"Mizrahi" means Eastern and refers to Jews of Eastern Mediterranean and added to the East.

The music also mixes local traditions. beyond doubt a very "eastern flavored" musical tradition which encompasses Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq and as east as India.

Middle Eastern percussion instruments share an leading part with the violin in typical Mizrahi songs. The music is ordinarily high pitched in general.

In Israel today Mizrahi music is very popular.

A "Muzika Mizrahit" movement emerged in the 1950s. Mostly with with performers from the ethnic neighborhoods of Israel: the Yemenite "Kerem HaTemanim" neighborhood of Tel Aviv, Moroccan, Iranian and Iraqi immigrants - who played at weddings and other events.

Songs were performed in Hebrew but with a clear Arabic style on primary Arabic instruments: the "Oud", the "Kanun", and the "darbuka".

Classic Hebrew literature, Including liturgical texts and poems by medieval Hebrew poets constitued the main source of lyrics.

Music in Jewish Liturgy

There are a wide variety of, sometimes conflicting, writings on all aspects of using music in the Judaic liturgy. The most agreed-upon facts are that the women voice should be excluded from religious ceremony and the usage of musical instruments should be banned in Synagogue service.

However some Rabbinical authorities soften those right positions but not with regard to the exclusion of the female voice. In weddings, for instance, the Talmudic statement "to gladden the groom and bride with music" can be seen as a way to allow making instrumental and non-religious music at the weddings but this was probably to be done covering the Synagogue.

The very influential writings of the Spanish Rabbi, also a doctor and philosopher, Maimonides (1135-1204) on one hand opposed harshly against all form of music not totally at the assistance of religious worship and on the other hand recommended instrumental music for its healing Powers.

Healing Powers and mysterious formul private inside musical scores was commonly sought after in music scores while middle-ages, renaissance and pre-Baroque epochs. Interestingly, in a recently published fiction novel "Imprimatur" by the musicologist Rita Monaldi and co-author Francesco Solti the whole plot is built-up nearby a composition of Salomone Rossi (1570-1630), an leading Jewish composer.

Jewish mystical treatises, like the Kabbala, particularly since the 13th. Century often deal with ethical, magical and therapeutic powers of music. The enhancement of the religious contact with music, particularly with singing is expressed in many places.

Even though there is no unified position with regard to music in the Jewish belief a coarse main ideas seems to emerge: that the music is the authentic expression of human feelings in religious and secular life.

Laughter Feeds the Soul

"What soap is to the body, laughter is to the soul" -Yiddish Proverb-

We all know what it feels like to take a refreshing bath/shower; it is so
Invigorating, that most of us look send to it on a daily basis. It not only cleanses us, it invigorates us and for many of us, it is the main thing that propels us out of bed in the morning. There is also the smell of coffee and the hope of that first cup of the day, now don't think that I have changed my stand on coffee, I have not, I just know that there are still a lot of you out there that look send to that first cup of coffee in the morning. For the rest of us it is a exciting cup of Green Tea brewed to perfection.

Yiddish

Back to the bath/shower, our hope to our morning ceremony of taking a bath/shower is all foremost and the setting and the items are just as important. We have the water at just the right temperature and all the foremost items all in their permissible place for our morning ritual of bathing. Our beloved soap that smells just excellent and the shampoo that enhances our hair so it looks, feels and smells just right. Then there is the critical oils that originate our mind to wonder to places of bliss and comfort. Yes, this is all what the ritual of the bath does for the soap to the body.

Laughter Feeds the Soul

Now the other part of this quotation is a dinky more abstract and a dinky harder to remember, because we can't see it and if we forget our morning spiritual practices we can't feel it right away either. Not until we ultimately realize our day just isn't going the way we want it to. Then we remember we forgot that ever foremost spiritual institution to do before we left the house and/or just got busy with things colse to the house.

It is always good to put laughter in your life as it is one of the things that feeds your soul, and when we put as much care, love and concentration into laughter in our life as you we do to the soap and details to our bath/shower we will find the soul responds with joy. Our life and presents will over flow with love and joy, yes laughter is a vital part of our day and being.

Just for the fun of it institution several belly laughs through out the day and just notice how great your days become. Happy Laughing!!

Namaste,

Yiddish Translation

As a pro translator, I love Yiddish translation, but I must admit that there are many Yiddish words are just so hard to translate without losing their true flavor and meaning. Luckily many colorful Yiddish expressions have entered the English language and are now generally used by habitancy around the world.

Do you feel like kvetching?

Yiddish

Do you have chutzpah?

Yiddish Translation

Are you a klutz? a schlemiel? a shmendrik? a shmo?

Yiddish is so much fun, though it seems to be more replete with curses and insults than most other languages!

Yiddish was the mama-loshen (mother tongue) of the Jewish habitancy throughout much of Europe for close to 1,000 years. It is a hybrid of German, Hebrew, Aramaic, and Slavic languages. In other words, it's as rich, involved and diverse as the Jewish communities that molded it. There are Jewish communities where Yiddish is still widely spoken and taught, and the language continues to morph and adapt to the times.

Yiddish is a language rich in history, culture and memory, and though most Jewish habitancy cannot speak it fluently nowadays, it remains a source of identity and many words and phrases have been maintained. There is a ever-present for Yiddish translation from habitancy who want to translate historical documents like books, songs, letters and articles, either from the group archives or their own family's collection, from Yiddish into English. The majority of European Jewish culture and heritage was documented in Yiddish, there is a wealth of history that can be opened up to a new generation through Yiddish Translation.

Often old Yiddish documents have traveled many miles and survived many ordeals, along with their Jewish owners. Jewish habitancy have taken great risks to hold and protect foremost and sacred Yiddish documents and records. As a result, they are often in poor and/or brittle condition and are hard to read due to the handwriting. While pro Yiddish translators do not handle traditional documents, due to their value, scans and photocopies can be even harder to decipher!

5 uncomplicated Ways to choose a Home Care employee for Your Elderly family Member

These days it is sometimes easier to do things on your own. Outsourcing is not always the best way to solve a problem. clear things need to be done by other population while major issues are best handled directly. Home care is a rapidly changing issue in America. The elderly population are living longer and group safety is cutting back. population have to work and maintain their immediate family, let alone their extended house which includes their parents. Hopefully, these five steps will help in selecting an proper home care worker for your elderly house member.

First, put an ad in the paper or free classified. Hopefully you select a paper that reflects what you are finding for. In other words, if you are seeking a Yiddish speaking person. You would have to post a help wanted advertisement in a Yiddish newspaper to attract that type of person. Usually, an older house member might feel more comfortable with a person from their own culture. The foods, demeanor, and culture would be similar to the patient and therefore accommodate the patient. A easy phone interview with a candidate of their past palpate and their current status could give you feel of the person to see if you want to meet with them. Tell them what you are willing to pay and if they are willing to accept the salary, you can Move onto the next step.

Yiddish

Secondly, you need to interview candidates. If you do not feel comfortable meeting them in your home. You can meet them in a group place. I would say a group library. Some libraries have rooms that you can maintain for free. A meeting time can be arranged after your telephone interview with the person. Give the person a sample reading test or just basic understanding test you photo copy out of an entrance exam booklet(you can also get at the library, Free). Twenty to Fifty questions should be enough.

Third, Talk to them after they have successfully passed the written test then ask for references and let them know that they will have to take a drug test and you will be doing a background check as well. Give them scenarios of emergency situations that could occur and see how they would deal with it. Also have a plan of what you want from the aide. In other words, a agenda should be laid out for the aide to keep your house member active and stimulated. For example the aide could take them to museums, movies, or a theatrical show

Fourth, make sure you assuredly get data from their old work or school and you verify all the information. If the person does not have any references from this country then ask them to get a reference letter from their pastor or church on letter head vouching for them.

Lastly, have them meet your house member and gauge the interaction from the body language. Let your house member ask them questions and hopefully they will work great together.

This business is sometimes hit or miss. When dealing with population things may change. So, always keep that in mind. Even if you pick one person after the initial interviews. Have two or three population as backup just in case your first candidate does not work out. Good luck
