content: CDR copy Tapes FW-ASCH-0001 through FW-ASCH-10RR-0019 are (primarily) from a weekly radio show series entitled Songs of the Synagogue, aired every Sunday afternoon at 2:00 over WEVD in New York City. The tapes are all from 1960 and 1961. Each week, a different cantor is featured along with a choir, singing synagogue music, and also, usually a Yiddish or Israeli song. The series is a Joseph Jacobs production, directed by Sholom Rubinstein, with music arranged and conducted by Abe Ellstein. The show is hosted by Zvee Scooler, and is sponsored primarily by Winston cigarettes. An ad for Conn Electronic Organs sometimes concludes the show. Shows begin with a steady tone for which, usually, "zero level at 400 CY" is indicated. Henry Sapoznik, Yiddish radio and klezmer music authority, provided some of the above information. It is not known how or why Folkways obtained these tapes,but in 1960, Sholom Rubenstein also wrote and directed a Folkways record album concerning Theordore Herzl. The tapes in our possession represent a small fraction of the programs originally broadcast. FW-ASCH-10RR-0002 begins with all the announcements, without music, for the following three shows in the Songs of Synagogue series: Cantor Lawrence Avery show; Cantor Herman Malamood show (for complete show, go to FW-ASCH-10RR-0001); and Cantor Nathaniel Springzen show. At the conclusion of this segment of the tape, the announcer states that this is the last show of the Songs of the Synagogue series.The tape concludes with the final 11 minutes of a Cantor Nathaniel Springzen show aired during the week of the holiday, Sukkos, but not the same Springzen show for which the announcments are presented in the first segment of the tape.
