אל מלא רחמים El Malé Raḥamim, 21st century C.E., 58th century A.M., space science, NASA Day of Remembrance, International Day of Human Space Flight, US National Astronaut Day, prayers for astronauts

In 2016 after reading David Brin’s Earth (1990), I wrote this blog post and later felt inspired to write this variant of El Malé for the vessels and probes that carry our dream of space science, and then also for the astronauts who died while pursuing that dream. . . .

Grief, burial service, יזכור yizkor, אל מלא רחמים El Malé Raḥamim

Almost two years ago my best friend passed away and I had the honour of chanting this malé raḥamim for him. In mid-May this year another friend approached me and said he really liked the way I did it at the time and could I record it for him because he was going to do it too for an unrelated unveiling. So, I recorded it on May 18, 2011. I didn’t compose it. It’s a traditional tune, but it’s my voice and I hope someone else can perhaps learn it with this material. The more resource there are out there through means such as Open Siddur the better we can learn and share. . . .

סליחות seliḥot, אל מלא רחמים El Malé Raḥamim, 17th century C.E., 55th century A.M., Chmielnicki massacres of 1648–1649

One of the most prominent martyrs in the Chmielnicki massacres of 1648–1649 was the kabbalist and sage Yəḥiel Mikhel ben Eliezer ha-Kohen, known to posterity as the Martyr of Nemirov. This unique poetic El Malei Raḥamim was said in his honor, and communities that fast on 20 Sivan still recite it to this day. . . .
