The
Journey: Songs Along the Chai Way
This personal glimpse into the heart and soul of
composer and performer, Bruce Benson, reflects his own journey along the
path of Jewish music. Bruce has a gift for creating original melodies for
traditional Hebrew texts as in R’tze and V’zot Hatorah,
sometimes adding a touch of English to clarify the lyrics as in Candles
and Shalom Song (Y’vorechecha). Combining talents with Cantor
Richard Silverman, Bruce shares with us the memorable Ki Yishm’oon
and Hariu, and a collaboration with Rabbi Don Rossoff results in
the beautiful Adonai Li. The English Bat Mitzvah song 13 is
a culmination of Bruce’s years guiding the steps of hundreds of Bar/Bat
Mitzvah students down that path. Stones of Time identifies
Bruce’s strong connection to the land of Israel. Both The Journey
and the well known Somewhere Over The Rainbow reflect Bruce’s
optimistic outlook on life. Mellower and a departure from the more rock
oriented albums Bruce has previously produced, this is a recording that
speaks to all of us, wherever we are along our own chai ways!
Wherever you are on your journey, this very personal album will touch you.
