The Art of Arranging an Orchestra - Dudi Kalish

Composer and Choir master Dudi Kalish was flown in from Israel special for Yaldei’s ninth annual dinner in Montreal, Canada at the Crown Plaza Hotel, February 22nd 2015. Together with the Shearim orchestra, they sang popular melodies and performed his own original compositions including a Yiddish song about Yaldei.

He was joined by both the Zimra men’s choir and the Zimra boy’s choir.

During one of his performances, Kalish slowly built up his musical piece, starting with the boy’s choir, adding a little piano, then slowly inserting instrument after instrument – with an addition from the crowd too – until the full 18 piece band, both choirs, the audience and Kalish exploded into a powerful, harmonized pitch perfect melody.

Members of Montreal’s community attended Yaldei’s ninth annual dinner in a wave of support for the hundreds of families that are serviced by the center for children with developmental needs.

The only one of its kind in Quebec, Yaldei is a private, not-for-profit early intervention center dedicated to helping children with developmental challenges reach their full potential. Yaldei’s integration of advanced clinical, behavioral, educational and family support services provides children with the opportunity to learn how to walk, talk, play, attend school and lead productive lives as part of their community.

World’s Grumpiest Baby

A cute baby boy from Brazil, is probably the world’s grumpiest baby. He refuses to stop scowling at his parents despite many attempts to make him smile.

the family doesn’t give up. They take a more direct approach and actually try to massage his face into a smile, like the baby was made out of Play-doh or something. This doesn’t work either.

What can possibly be the reason that this baby got so angry ?

Thoughts on Parashas Shoftim

The Rabbi's Got the Power - Oorah's Thursday-Thought series continues with a thought-provoking look at the Torah portion of this week, Parshas Shoftim, featuring Rabbi Ben Turin.


Rabbi Laibl Wolf's 60-Second Message - Parashas Shoftim
Don’t Be Judgmental of Others – Only of Yourself
• Appoint judges and police officers for yourself – or more profoundly over yourself.
• Each person needs to step outside him/herself and be self critical and introspective.
• And then practice mastery – police our shortcomings.

Little Boy Bursts Into Tears at Reporter's Question

A little boy just could not handle the unintentionally tough questions of one L.A. reporter.

KTLA's Courtney Friel was outside an L.A. elementary school as kids got ready for their first day. One four-year-old, Andrew Macias, was about to go inside when Friel asked him whether he was excited about starting pre-kindergarten. "Yes," he answered. Friel then asked Andrew if he would miss his mother, who was standing off-camera. "No," he said ... but then he gave it a second of thought. And he lost it.

Andrew's mom was there to give him a big hug and reassure him before his big day.

Courtney, formerly of Fox News and a mother of two herself, later said she felt "awful" about what happened. Watch the cute - but then again a little bit heartbreaking - video here.

Avrumi Roth & Friends - שווים - Music Video

"ואולי יבוא יום ונהפוך שווים..."
נתי שיש ואבירם שוקרון מארחים את הזמר והחזן העולמי אברימי רוט בשיר: 'שווים' (מילים ולחן: עילי בוטנר)

עם תחילתו של חודש אלול – חודש הרחמים והסליחות אנו שמחים להציג בפניכם את השיר 'שווים', השיר הנפלא שכתב והלחין המוזיקאי והיוצר עילי בוטנר. אלו ימים של חשבון נפש והתרוממות רוח. מכל עבר מתחילים לשמוע את פיוטי הסליחות ואווירת הקדושה מורגשת היטב.

מה נבקש השנה בתפילות? מה נאחל לעצמנו ולסובבים אותנו?

"את השיר שווים הקלטנו מתוך מחשבה אמיתית שעוצמתן של תפילותינו נשענת במידה רבה על המאחד והמשותף לכולנו", מספרים נתי שיש ואבירם שוקרון. "עם ישראל הוא פסיפס עשיר וססגוני של דעות, מחשבות ואמונות, אבל בסופו של דבר כולנו אחים, כולנו שווים. אם נזכור תמיד את הדבר החשוב הזה, ונשמור על המחויבות והערבות ההדדית בבחינת 'כאיש אחד בלב אחד', אין ספק שתפילותינו לשנה טובה ומוצלחת לכולנו, יעלו מעלה ויבקיעו שערי שמיים".

"החלטנו לשלב בשיר את הנעימה היהודית 'אלי אתה ואודך', מתוך מחשבה שאם השיר עצמו יוכל להשפיע ולשנות בעניינים של בין אדם לחברו, אזי 'אלי אתה ואודך - הודו לה' כי טוב', יוכל להיות החוט המקשר גם בעניינים של בין אדם למקום" מוסיף אברימי רוט.

קרדיטים:
מילים ולחן: עילי בוטנר.
עיבוד: אבירם שוקרון.
עיבוד ותזמור כלי מיתר: אחיה כהן.
הפקה מוסיקלית: חיים ויס ואבירם שוקרון.
הפקה בפועל: נתי שיש, אבירם שוקרון ויוחאי כפיר.

Camp Mogen Av -How Not To Make A Music Video 2015 -  "Have you ever wondered about what goes into the planning of a successful camp music video? Do you wish you could hand feed a friendly platypus? Do you stay up late at night worrying about the economic situation in Southeast Asia? Do you sometimes wish you were more like Millard Fillmore? Then this video will be of no help whatsoever (although I totally sympathize about the platypus)." Made in Camp Mogen Av - August 2015. Directed by Sruly Peikes.



Kinor Dovid -  I Can Be - "This past summer in Camp Rayim, the Camp had a special privilege of having Kinor Dovid. Kinor Dovid is linked to the Harmony Program which is there to have a camp for Special Needs Men. After the release of Yaakov Shwekey's Single, "I Can Be," we decided it would be amazing to make a video showing how these special Neshamos can do anything. Besides for that the video also shows Kinor Dovid being themselves and interacting with their ultra warm hosts, Camp Rayim." The Video was Produced, Filmed and Edited by Avrohom Mayer and Avrumi Lipschitz.

Dump Truck Dumped

A Saudi Arabian truck driver's seemingly innocent mishap got a whole lot more destructive when he forgot to lower the bed of his truck before taking to the highway. As caught on camera by a nearby driver, the truck plows full speed ahead into a road sign that hangs over the desert freeway, not knowing or caring that the truck may be too tall in its current state to fit underneath.

Ignoring the warning honks of other drivers, the trucker only slows when the sign is destroyed - and his truck almost tips over from the force. Even more curious than why the driver didn't notice that the bed was still up is the white pickup that follows him at full speed. Perhaps he was trying to warn the driver of the sign's impending doom.  Nobody was injured in the wreckage, and as far as we know, the only damage other than the road sign will be to the driver's wallet.

Shade Balls Prevents Evaporation in California Reservoirs

Los Angeles has been blackballed.

The city has completed a program of covering open-air reservoirs with floating "shade balls" to protect water quality.

City officials this week dumped the last 20,000 of 96 million black balls into the Los Angeles Reservoir in Sylmar, 25 miles northwest of downtown.

The 4-inch-diameter plastic balls block sunlight from penetrating the 175-acre surface of the reservoir.

That prevents chemical reactions that can cause algae blooms and other problems, allowing the Department of Water and Power to meet U.S. Environmental Protection Agency water-quality requirements.

They have the added perk of aiding with the ravages of the drought, and are expected to keep about 300 million gallons annually from evaporating.

The 36-cent balls also will help prevent evaporation of 300 million gallons of water annually from the 3.3 billion-gallon reservoir, the DWP said.

The city began using shade balls in 2008, and they now also cover the Upper Stone, Elysian and Ivanhoe reservoirs.


Tens of thousands of plastic balls were dumped intentionally into the biggest reservoir in Los Angeles to combat California’s drought. The balls that poured in were the last of 96 million balls, completing an evaporation barrier on the reservoir. John Blackstone reports on how they could help the state bounce back from its water emergency.
