Artist: The Diaspora Yeshiva BandSomeone dumped their collection of '70s Jewish/Yiddish/Israeli records at Golden Oldies... and now they're mine! You can learn the history, methods and goals of the Diaspora Yeshiva here, read about The Diaspora Yeshiva Band here and for a short bio of group founder Avraham Rosenblum (aka. "the father of Jewish Rock"), go here. These notes come from the back of this 1976 LP:
ESAH EYNAI—Psalm 121: often recited to ask for Hashem's
protection over mother and child during and after childbirth.
This melody came and was sung at the birth of the author's
son, Yehuda Chiya; that the newborn infant hear, at birth,
his first words of Torah and Bracha.

In 1967, Rabbi Dr. Mordecai Goldstein founded the Diaspora
Yeshiva on Mt. Zion in Jerusalem, with the help of Rabbi Dr.
S.Z. Kahana. Since then, the Yeshiva has grown to become
a vibrant center for spiritual growth; an educational institute
known throughout Israel and the Diaspora.
Rabbi Goldstein, the Rosh HaYeshiva and Dean, uses modern
methods to transmit the Masoretic traditions and the eternal
Oral Law, together with a close student-teacher relationship.
This methodology encourages honesty, truth, justice, morality
and piety, while developing the student's potential to become
a Jewish spiritual leader capable of actualizing genuine
Torah values in today's world.
