Oorah Shmorg 2 – Audio CD sampler clips

That’s right people, its THAT time of year. Where people are anxiously checking their mailboxes each and every day to see if their Oorah Shmorg CD has finally arrived. This year I can tell you they are in for a extra surprise. Not only are you going to get the quality CD that people have come to love over the years, but the diversity of the artists on this album will thrill music fans everywhere. You have the seasoned veterans like Avraham Fried, Lipa and Yehuda!. Then you have the “New To Oorah”  talent which include; Meydad Tassah, Lev Tahor, 8th Day and Beri Weber. That’s not all, you still have the Oorah audition winner Eli Levin singing a Baruch levine composition. All this and we have yet to discuss the DVD portion of the Shmorg 2, which we will hopefully have more on for you tomorrow. For more and updates of course visit Oorah.org and get ready for the auction of the year!.
