It seems as if everyone is competing to put out the most exciting, new\u00a0<em>sefira<\/em>\/acapella album. Trying to appear current, producers are taking\u00a0<em>sefira<\/em> music to new levels in engineering and technology. Sadly, like a lot of Jewish music,\u00a0<em>sefira<\/em> music is losing its \u201csoul.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; border-collapse: collapse; list-style-type: none; list-style-position: initial; list-style-image: initial; margin: 0px;\">This year a new album is coming out. It offers no beats, and no new parodies to secular songs. Instead, its beauty lies in its return back to what can make\u00a0Jewish music\u00a0so powerful and uplifting. What it does offer is the sound of pure vocals harmonizing the songs that have been inspiring the Jewish nation for decades. This\u00a0<em>sefira<\/em>, prepare to be inspired by \u201cA\u00a0<em>Kumzitz<\/em> in the Rain.\u201d The album name plays on the Yiddish word for \u201cpure:\u201d Rain. The name also evokes the inspiration found in real<em>kumzitzin<\/em> sung in the darkest hours of\u00a0<em>am yisroel\u2019s<\/em> existence.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; border-collapse: collapse; list-style-type: none; list-style-position: initial; list-style-image: initial; margin: 0px;\">Masterfully produced and arranged by Doni Gross of the budding \u201cDEG Studios,\u201d the album promises to deliver nothing less than beautifully produced natural music. No sound has been tampered with by technology to ensure the capture of the\u00a0<em>neshoma<\/em> of every sound. The notes are delivered by a carefully selected group of talented\u00a0<em>b\u2019nei torah<\/em> and knowledgeable individuals in the music industry.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; border-collapse: collapse; list-style-type: none; list-style-position: initial; list-style-image: initial; margin: 0px;\">With guest vocals from music greats such as \u00a0Shloime Dachs, Dovid Stein, Rivie Schwebel, Ari Goldwag, and Dovid Dachs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; border-collapse: collapse; list-style-type: none; list-style-position: initial; list-style-image: initial; margin: 0px;\">Enjoy the sampler below<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; border-collapse: collapse; list-style-type: none; list-style-position: initial; list-style-image: initial; margin: 0px;\">\n<p class=\"audioplayer_container\"><span style=\"display:block;padding:5px;border:1px solid #dddddd;background:#f8f8f8\" id=\"audioplayer_1\">Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip.
