Check out this youtube channel “How to chant the Torah”. Although I have family and friends and Masonic brothers that practice Judaism I’ve not yet been to a synagogue but here’s a link to an episode in the channel-sounds Beautiful!
Thanks! Decades ago I've been to Bar Mitvah and Bat Mitvah so I've heard parts of Torah chanted. Not knowing Hebrew I had not added those aspects together. To me at the time it was childhood friends singing at a church service, sort of like a confirmation or first communion. Sort of like stuff in Latin at the church services of other childhood friends, at the time I had no idea what it was they were singing.
Thanks for this part of the discussion my Brothers. It's a non-denominational cut-out of the earlier conversation so to me it has much lower risk of pushing the boundaries on the landmarks. I'm aware that for some jurisdictions the landmark applies to all religious discussion so this cut-out is about linguistics or songs or scholarship or something that can be applied to the sacred writings of any religion.
I wonder why the New Testament isn't sung or chanted. There are probably translations where that would work. None of the 3 English versions I've read, though.
Now I want to go back and find chanted versions of all sorts of sacred writings that I've read in translation as prose. I also get why the version of the Ramayana I played on audio-book was so hard to follow - It was a chanted translation.
