I can't say enough good things about this CD. I was fortunate enough to attend an actual Friday Night Live service in CA last year, and the music just moved me so much. The CD is just as stirring, I think, whether or not you are Jewish (I am). It's traditional religious music, yet it has a beat and you can dance to it. It is my 5-year-old daughter's favorite CD. She listens to it over and over, especially "Hashkivenu". Please buy this! You will feel good about yourself and Judaism!

Craig Taubman is without a doubt one of the most inspiring voices in modern Jewish music and religion today. This Friday night live CD helps convey to the world that the services he is a part of in LA, Friday Night Live at Sinai Temple, and One Shabbat Morning take the whole concept of prayer, spirituality and Judaism to the next level. Combining modern arrangement with ancient melodies, Craig is without a doubt one of the strongest voices in new Jewish music today. Buy this CD, play it for your family, and prepare to welcome the Shabbos Bride into your houses and into your hearts...

Wonderful mix of klezmer style, jazz, slower pieces (a stirring b'arechu

Great music for all types of music lovers...My tastes run a bit conservative and even I enjoyed this CD with it's rhythm. Even my 3 year old loves it! It has become our CD of choice to be played... : )

Craig Taubman is popular in many places, including Swampscott, Massachusetts, where one Shabbat service in October was held in honor of him and his music. Pieces such as Romimu and L'cha Dodi were played. Much of the music is upbeat and happy, with some slower pieces in the mix. I recommend this recording to Jewish people who enjoy modern versions of religious Hebrew songs.

Craig Taubman's "Friday Night Live" musical Shabbat service is wonderfully upbeat and accessable music for all. Great for adults and children.

This CD is AWEsome! It's not as great as seeing Craig live in concert, but it comes close. My friend introduced me to Craig Taubman and I've been enjoying his work ever since. My favorite is his new CD, How Good. But Holy Ground, Passover Lounge, and all the rest are awesome. Not a huge fan of religious music, but I think this stuff is great.Holy GroundHow GoodThe Shabbat LoungeInscribed

This CD not only changed they way I looked at Shabbat but the way I look at Judaism. It opened my eyes and heart to the beauty of the Jewish tradition as well as new possibilities.
It is at once new and old. It is powerful!
