Beyond Hava Nagila: A Symphony of Hasidic Music in 3 Movements

(Book). Velvel Pasternak, a noted ethnomusicologist and lecturer, has brought the joy of Hasidic music to audiences throughout North America and Israel. The three movements of this book feature Velvel's often-humorous retelling of his music projects with Hasidim, a short overview of their music's essence, and the songs with background stories and annotations. The 70-minute accompanying CD features music examples from the book.
