Cantillation Interpreter Of The Bible
The "singing" of the bible. How and why it's done. Fascinating listening. How Abraham Lincoln used cantillation to "sing" the Gettysburg Address. This program is not a dramatization, but actual instruction, and is much different than other programs in this series. Concluding speaker: Rabbi Martin Weiner, Director of The National Academy of Adult Jewish Studies of The United Synagogue of America. The script was subsequently produced on "The Eternal Light" on June 11, 1967 (see cat. #112628).

The Eternal Light was an American radio and television program on the NBC Radio Network, produced in conjunction with the Jewish Theological Seminary, that was broadcast between 1944 and 1989. Featuring interviews, commentary, and award-winning dramas from the perspective of Judaism, it began on radio in 1944 and continued as a weekly radio program through 1989. A 1946 program, for example, dramatized humanitarian Lillian Wald's founding of New York City's Henry Street Settlement in 1895. The May 31, 1959, program featured a tour of the Holy Land narrated by Ralph Bellamy.
