RABBI DUNNER SINGS YIGAL CALEK

Hamalach

Rabbi Dunner’s rendition of Hamalach merges his voice with the original recording from Yigal Calek’s Tenth Anniversary Celebration album of the London School of Jewish Song (1978). The song is a soothing lullaby traditionally sung to children at bedtime, and features a beautiful melody perfectly aligned with the words. For Rabbi Dunner, this remix is both personal and emotional—a way to honor the music he once performed under Yigal’s direction.

Lema’an Achai

In this remix of Lema’an Achai, Rabbi Dunner revisits his time as a member of Yigal Calek’s renowned choir, blending his own voice with the original 1976 London Live recording. This heartfelt song, centered on the theme of brotherly harmony and unity, has remained a meaningful part of Rabbi Dunner’s life. Singing it again alongside the choir evokes a powerful sense of nostalgia and pays tribute to the musical legacy that shaped him.
