Underratedly important, Maharil makes the point that knowing the tunes is important for kavana, see Rema beginning of 619 and Mishna brura there about not changing the tunes the people are used to

So, I sat down to listen to this expecting to learn a bunch of crazy British nigunim and instead found a bunch of Gush nigunim 😂

(which is great, b/c those are my nigunim too!)

Ergo, the Gush is British!

Very nice. I have a large list of the best (subjective) RHYK melodies here: https://medium.com/@stuart.izon/melodies-of-rosh-hashana-yom-kippur-781e2dfb7987

Also the B'ein Melitz Yosher you included should resonate with us even more this year. Its composer Jeffrey Craimer was niftar last week.

Gosh, I knew about Jeffrey, I didn't realize he composed that.

He also wrote a well known Ezk’ra Elohim V’ehemaya https://www.facebook.com/61400968/videos/10104085376819515
