Hatikvah Music is closing
Dec. 23rd, 2023 08:08 pmPassing this announcement along, slightly updated based on my experience.
Hatikvah Music is going out of business after 35 years. They are offering lowered prices on thousands of CDs and some DVDs of klezmer, Yiddish, Israeli, Ladino, Mizrachi, and children's music.
• Go to http://hatikvahmusic.com/
• Browse with the index, or use the search box at the bottom of each page.
• Click on each item that interests you and write down the artist's name and five digit "order number."
• Do NOT click "submit order" because that will not work. Write Klezcorner@aol.com. Please include a phone number, as Simon has trouble typing.
• Simon Rutberg will get back to you by phone with prices and you can then choose what to order.
I ordered CDs of music I grew up with (The Parvarim, Flory Jagoda, Theodore Bikel) and they arrived quickly. Simon was chatty in our phone conversation, so allow some time for that. I wish I had known about the place before I saw the closing announcement! Maybe I could have visited when it was a brick and mortar store in LA.
Simon sent me a couple of articles about the store: Music to Stir the 'Jewish Soul' (Quotes in original title, not sure what that's about!) and Sephardic Survey.
Bonus gorgeous slow Sephardic rendition of Maos Tzur via![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
