A growing archive of Jewish liturgical tradition and recorded nusach
The historical and modern melodies of Orthodox Jewish prayer, for every service of the week, Shabbos, the holidays and the Yamim Noraim, across Chabad, Ashkenaz, Sefard and other traditions. Listen, learn the amud, and add the tunes you carry.

Kabbalas Shabbos and Maariv as sung plainly from the amud: Hashem Malach, Mizmor Shiru, Mizmor LeDavid, Kegavna, Kaddish and Borchu, the brachos of Shema, Mi Chomocha, Hashkiveinu, Vayechulu and Aleinu. Two Shabbos-morning recordings, Shochen Ad and the Shacharis repetition, follow.
Other than a few CDs, there was no robust database to learn the nuances of the prayers and tunes appropriate to the service. Hence, the Nusakh Archive was born.

The search understands Hebrew and English, ignores nikud and forgives spelling: "Licho Dodi", "L'cha Dodi" and לכה דודי find the same entry.

Older chazzanim who know the rites of their home countries are passing away. If you carry a tune, record it and send it in.
