Notes
The Baal Shem Tov used to go to a certain place in the woods and light a fire and pray when he was faced with an especially difficult task, and it was done. His successor followed his example and went to the same place, but said: 'The fire we can no longer light, but we can still say the prayer.' And what he asked was done too. Another generation passed, and Rabbi Moshe Leib of Sassov went to the woods and said: 'The fire we can no longer light, the prayer we no longer know; all we know is the place in the woods, and that will have to be enough.' And it was enough. In the fourth generation, Rabbi Israel of Rishin stayed at home and said: 'The fire we can no longer light, the prayer we no longer know, nor do we know the place. All we can do is tell the story.' And that, too, proved sufficient. --A Big Jewish Book Jerome Rothenberg, ed. with Harris Lenowitz and Charles Doria. Anchor Books, Anchor Press/Doubleday, Garden City, N, 1978. Voice of the Turtle, Judith Wachs, Artistic Director 'The flowers appear on the earth, the time of singing is come, and the voice of the turtle (dove) is heard throughout the land.' - Song of Songs Derek Burrows: Spanish medieval bagpipes, flutes, mandolin, saz, guitar, percussion, and voice Lisle Kulbach: rebec, medieval fiddle, violin, shawn, percussion, and voice Jay Rosenberg: 'ud, tenor chalumeau, cornetti, guitar, percussion, and voice Judith Wachs: soprano chalumeau, recorder, baglama, percussion, and voice CIRCLE OF FIRE, broadcast by WGBH-FM Radio, Boston, was heard on 89 stations of the American Public Radio Network. It was the ninth annual concert for Hanukah given by Voice of the Turtle. The music is the legacy of the Sephardim, the Jews who lived for more than 1500 years in Spain and Portugal, before their expulsion at the end of the 15th century. The Spanish Inquisition forced them into exile, but they continued to sing and speak the language of their ancestral homeland as well as preserve their Hebrew heritage. The selections on this recording come from the huge repertoire of wonderful music that the Sephardim preserved by oral tradition for more than 500 years.The songs were collected from Sephardim who lived in the Ottoman Empire and in North Africa and represent a wide variety of cultural and musical traditions. The Sephardim use any celebration or social gathering as an opportunity for singing, mixing the songs for the occasion with the favorites of the singing guests. This program was conceived in that spirit. HANUKAH Hanukah is the festival which commemorates the successful Jewish revolt led by the Maccabees in 165 B.C.E. Under the rule of the Greeks, Jews were required to adhere to Hellenic life and custom and had thus lost the right to observe their religion, On the 25th day of the month of Kislev, the Maccabees -Mattathias (the father) and Judah and his brothers- defeated the ruler Antiochus and reclaimed the Temple in Jerusalem which had been defiled and desecrated. After having cleansed and purified the Temple, the Maccabees rededicated it (Hanukah mean 'dedication') and rekindled the lights of the menorah, the seven-branched lampstand. According to legend, the only remaining purified oil was sufficient to last for a day, but miraculously burned for eight days. By lighting the lights of the menorah for eight days, beginning on the 25th day of the month of Kislev, Jewish people remember the miracle of the oil and the triumph of the small band of people who fought for, and won, the freedom to act according to their beliefs. RITES AND SYMBOLS In any people's tradition, there have been few more compelling symbols than those of FIRE and LIGHT, the central symbols of Hanukah. Although the second century texts, 1 and 2 Maccabees, do not mention the kindling of lights, by the fourth century the historian Josephus refers to the holiday as the "Festival of Lights" and alludes to the freedom which glows and lights up Jewish life. The rites bear striking resemblance to those
