A very comprehensive book on Jewish music. It had everything I needed for a recent gig!

What a wonderful music book this is! When I go to the music wholesalers to select music for my piano students, I find shelves and shelves full of sheet music and books suitable for Christian celebrations. For my Jewish students, I can choose from a shelf partially filled with mediocre Hanukah music, usually found in a dusty back room. I use this book to acquaint my Jewish students with their rich musical heritage; as a bonus they learn how to play from a fake book. Every Jewish family and every music teacher should own this book.

Good collection but incomplete

This is an expansive collection of Jewish songs. However, like many "fake" books there are too many wrong chords that need correcting.There is generally only one chorus or verse and additional verses must be found elsewhere. With better editing this could have been a great book.

The Jewish Fake Book
May 5 2008
By Keith Hudson
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Sheet music
This book contains about 200 tunes. In general, I would recommend this book. The arranger, Velvel Pasternak did not always finish the chord symbols at the ends of songs and sometimes left out (a few) chords in the middle of songs. These were easy to figure out, however. The other drawback I found was the book is not laid out in alphabetical order, but by category of song. (There is an alphabetical listing at the back of the book.) When I looked for "Hatikvah" I expected it to be under SONGS OF ISRAEL. No, it was under HASSIDIC & LITURGICAL. The book paid for itself 20 times over with one Klezmer gig!
