SHABBAT
Please note that the recordings are incomplete. In actual practice, some of these tunes are played in different keys in different situations, but there may be only one recording. This is because some of these recordings come from High Holiday rehearsals and some stuff is played differently on Shabbat. I've indicated where that happens. Some tunes are not recorded at all. Almost everything has sheet music.
Shabbat Morning- Shakharit, Torah Service, and more!

Niggun Simcho For Niggun Simcho, there are three versions- one with the band, one without, and one with special hand claps. I include with and without the band because it's a little easier to get the melody without the band. The hand clap one is for learning the special claps that we do at a certain point. (We weren't doing them when the first recordings were made.) The PDF of the chart is here too.
