TASHLIKH (track featured on Filmworks IX only)
" [...] the Tashlikh ceremony. Taking a brief respite from the long hours in synagogue and around the table, the community gathers in the afternoon at the Glenmore reservoir to enjoy some fresh air and to metaphorically divest ourselves of our sins. The widespread practice in most communities today is to turn one's pockets inside-out, jettisoning of some lint or, at most, a few crumbs that might be taken along for the occasion. The ceremony is symbolic of our determination to free ourselves from our sins and shortcomings during this special season." [from Eliezer Segal web site]
Tashlikh means "you will cast away". Most date the ritual to the fourteenth century [more info here]
SIMEN TOV / MAZEL TOV (track featured on Filmworks IX only)
Simen tov, u maazel tov, y'hei lanu u'lchol haolam. Traditionally sung at weddings and other joyous occasions, the words mean "may good luck come to us and the whole world."
SHOLOM ALEICHEM (track featured on Filmworks IX only)
The words mean, "peace be with you." The phrase is used as a greeting. Its reverse, Aleichem Shalom, is said in response.
NOTARIKON (track featured on Filmworks IX only)
Notarikon, or Notariqon - A type of gematria (see below) involving the first letters of a phrase in Hebrew. The most common example of this type of gematria is the Holy Name AGLA, which is made up of the Hebrew phrase "Atah Gibor LeOlahm Amen," which we can translate as "Thou art mighty forever, my Lord." For a more thorough overview of Notarikon, see A Garden of Pomegranates by Israel Regardie. See also Gematria, Aiq Bekar.
Gematria - A mathematical process of hermeneutic and mystical interpretation involving the letters of the Hebrew alphabet. Simply, each letter is ascribed a number and words are then given a total. Words and/or phrases are then compared, and two or more words/sentences/phrases with the same numerical value "relate" to each other in a mystical manner.
