about

"Bayom Hahu" comes from "The First Album," Beged Kefet's debut album (1987). "Bayom Hahu" is a setting of a traditional Jewish prayer that envisions a world where we've come to understand that, no matter how many different ways we think about God, they're all striving to describe the same indescribable, transcendent Source. Beged Kefet (1982-2009) was comprised of: Rabbi Les Bronstein, Rabbi Billy Dreskin, Cantor Ellen Dreskin, Cantor Riki Lippitz, Cantor Benjie Ellen Schiller, Beth Sher, and Cantor Leon Sher. As you will hear, we worked hard to produce tight harmonies. And this was before you could tune things up afterward. Audio verite, you might say!
