The cover of the CD has as picture of a matzah wrapped in a cloth, also known as the afikoman during the Jewish holiday of Passover. While there is no indication that this is a Passover CD, this CD is apparently one praising freedom of the Jews from Egypt. While each song has a Hebrew title, there is English apparent in almost every song. It is a CD full of richness and diversity, and I can understand why so many people feel a connection this kind of music.
Honestly, this wasn't what I was expecting. I was expecting more of a Hebrew gospel CD. However, I am glad that this music is full of history and culture. It is a very unique way of bringing cultures and ideals together, and it is a quite effective way of doing so.
