Introduction by Rabbi Rodney Mariner:
On the 9th and 10th of November 1938, the Nazi pogroms (subsequently and cynically referred to as Kristallnacht) effectively served notice that the Jewish communities of Germany and Central Europe were beyond the protection of the law. Discrimination and persecution had grown in intensity and audacity since 1933 and a German-speaking Diaspora comprising those Jews who had been able to find refuge in other countries, had already begun to form. Britain had been one of the few counties prepared to open its doors.
Belsize Square Synagogue was founded in March 1939 by these German-speaking Jews who had lost everything but their willingness to support each other in the darkness of their exile. The hardships that they endured were compounded by the fact that for many of their English neighbours, they were unwelcome foreigners and ''Jewish to boot''. Perversely, many of their British-born co-religionists treated them with contempt as “loyal Germans”.
70 years on, Belsize Square Synagogue wishes to remember not only the richness of the Jewish life and culture that was buried beneath the ashes and shattered glass of the November pogroms but to give thanks and celebrate in song, the establishment of our unique community. Despite the circumstance that brought our synagogue into being, it became from the outset a haven for those who had been torn from their roots. Here they learned to love and laugh again, find work, marry, have children and live in hope of a better future.
These founding members were from the Liberal (Liberale) strand of Judaism, which had no exact equivalent in England. Whereas continental Orthodox Jews and those who had been part of the Reform Movement readily integrated with established English congregations, there existed no comparable communities which could provide a home for either the ethos or the form of service to which the founders of Belsize Square Synagogue had been accustomed. The Liberale Gemeinde which had been centered on synagogues in Berlin, Frankfurt-on-Main and Breslau, could trace its origins to the early Nineteenth Century which, through the Enlightenment, had brought emancipation and the opportunity for Jews to reside outside of the ghettos and to enter the professions as never before and to live a relatively normal existence with their Christian neighbours.
The reforms in synagogue music during the Nineteenth Century were among the most profound and controversial expressions of this new-found freedom. They involved the introduction of the organ, the composition of new melodies to rival the contemporary ecclesiastical style, the reshaping of traditional singing based on a four-part choral mode and the singing of sections of the liturgy in German. Contrary to some of the criticisms of our day, these changes were less a mindless attempt to assimilate to the prevailing Christian culture, than a concerted effort to stem the flow of the young to the baptismal font. The Liberale Gemeinde sought to create the aesthetically pleasing, spiritually elevating atmosphere, that was so admired in the Christian form of service and at the same time to preserve as much as possible of their Jewish heritage.
The preservers and shapers of this tradition have been primarily the Chazanim (Cantors). Magnus Davidsohn, our first Chazan, served the congregation together with Rabbi Dr. Georg Salzberger and was the authentic voice of the Berlin tradition. Davidsohn''s specific contribution to this compilation lies in his rescuing the music scores from his burning synagogue, Fasanenstrasse Synagogue on the day following Kristallnacht. Joseph Dollinger, who served with Rabbi Jakob J. Kokotek, was the embodiment of the golden age of Eastern European Chazanut which was the perfect foil to the operatic compositions of the Nineteenth Century; his expertise of interpretation and improvisation based on the nusach provided the necessary setting in which these magnificent compositions could continue to inspire and not dominate. Louis Berkman brought to bear on the liturgy both his operatic voice and temperament. Lawrence Fine served the congregation as Chazan for 22 years until his retirement in 2004; he applied the philosophy of his training at the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York without compromising the community''s musical heritage. Norman Cohen-Falah who trained in Buenos Aires became our Chazan in 2004; in addition to his youth he brings to our music a knowledge and understanding of both Eastern European and Oriental modes chazanut that has both broadened and enriched our repertoire.
The repertoire of Belsize Square Synagogue has been dominated by two composers, Salomon Sulzer (b. 1804) a contemporary and friend of Franz Schubert, and Louis Lewandowski (b. 1821) a contemporary of Felix Mendelssohn. Of the two, Lewandowski is represented to a greater extent on this recording but Sulzer is accorded the honour of commencing this collection. That there are many other composers included here, is an indication that the musical structure of the synagogue is not static. Rather, it is a demonstration of the musical vitality of this community which has not accepted its heritage as an ancient artifact but as a living tradition, a resource to be used to enhance the service in conjunction with needs of contemporary worshippers. Sue Mariner in collaboration with Joseph Dollinger composed this setting for Hashkiveinu with a theme that was remembered by Dollinger from his youth in Poland. Her setting of Psalm 111 was written with David Lawrence and Andrew Levy for the 50th Jubilee of the congregation and has been part of the services of celebration for both the 60th and 70th anniversary services. Heinrich Schalit''s V''Shamru, with its striking, contemporary harmonies, as with several other settings such as Psalms 92 and 93 and Hashkiveinu, is used at Belsize Square for Shabbat evening services that fall in Festivals to heighten the mood. Isadore Freed''s striking setting of Shachar Avakesh''cha along with Norman Cohen-Falah''s lyrical Adir Adireinu introduce a contemporary voice that harmonises with the grand tones of nineteenth century German romanticism.
The Congregation''s Hebrew name is Etz Chayim meaning Tree of Life. The image chosen for the mantle for the Jubilee Sefer Torah was that of a tree cut down to its roots which, by virtue of their vigour had again burgeoned into life on ancient stock. My wife Sue and I commissioned a concerto from Benjamin Wolf to celebrate the 70th anniversary of this unique community through its musical heritage. The title of the concerto reflects a community who are not simply survivors and their descendants, but Jews who have survived and through whose efforts, a significant form of Judaism continues to flourish.
This CD was conceived as a companion to the 1996 recording of the High Holyday music of Belsize Square Synagogue. Its title, Todah V''Zimrah, which means "gratitude and song" reflects the context and the reasoning behind the contents of this recording. The context is the 70th anniversary of the establishment of Belsize Square Synagogue. The content is drawn from the annual cycle of joyous festivals which have as their dominant theme, the celebration of renewal and survival. The tone of these festivals is reflected in the Hallel and its emphasis on gratitude, praise and celebration. These prayers set to such fulsome melodies still have the capacity to evoke the vast spaces of the "cathedral" synagogues destroyed more than 70 years ago. These songs of praise and joy soared to the very top of their star-spangled domes and still evoke in the mind''s eye, the splendour and fervour that those buildings contained before their barbaric desecration and destruction. Though the buildings are no more, these melodies can still proclaim not only gratitude for the gift of life, but a resolute belief in the progress of humanity.

The Tree of Life Concerto
Benjamin Wolf
(Recorded live at the 70th Anniversary concert of
Belsize Square Synagogue on 1st March, 2009)
24. First movement
25. Second Movement
26. Third Movement
While this concerto is not entirely programmatic, it does to some extent try to tell a story: the story of the transfer of a community (and a body of music) from nineteenth-century Germany to twentieth-century England, as a consequence of the enforced exile of European Jewry before and during the Second World War. One of the consequences of this exile was the creation of Belsize Square Synagogue. Given the nature of this story, the piece is both contemplative – particularly in its first two movements – and, as befits this anniversary occasion, celebratory. Its specific connection with Belsize Square comes from the combination of original melodies and motifs with quotations from music by the nineteenth-century composers Lewandowski and Sulzer (whose music is regularly performed at the synagogue) and those associated with Jewish festivals.
The first movement is a kind of dialogue between cello and orchestra, similar to the dialogue between cantor and congregation, incorporating modal elements, aspects of Shabbat morning nusach and snippets of Lewandowski. It opens with a fanfare motif on solo trumpet (a motif that recurs at various points in the concerto, usually to introduce a new section). The strings then enter with a motif derived from Lewandowski’s F-Major Ma Tovu. The cello’s entry (again using the same fanfare motif) leads to a more modal section (based around the natural minor scale, which is one of the chief modes used in Jewish prayer). This scale also forms the basis of a slower, more contemplative melody that follows. The remainder of the movement combines this melody with music derived from the opening motifs and the cello’s opening modal section, culminating in a fortissimo, F-minor passage in the strings, and a pianissimo trio between piano, trumpet and cello.
The second movement is more menacing (or haunting) in tone, evoking the uncertainty of exile, and the events of the 1930s and 1940s. The slow string motif that opens the movement gradually gathers pace, before the cello begins a Danse Macabre (again introduced by the fanfare motif). As befits the more mournful tone of the movement, the cello uses a brief quotation from Lewandowski’s setting of Tavo L’Fanecha (from the
High Holiday liturgy) as an introduction to a central melody. This melody is then combined with another part of Belsize Square’s High Holiday liturgy – Lewandowski’s setting of Ya Shimcha (from the Neilah service on Yom Kippur). As in the first movement, aspects of these different melodies are combined before a recapitulation of the Danse Macabre, and a rather questioning end to the movement.
All three movements of this concerto are unified in some way by the use of F – the key that seems most dominant in Belsize Square’s liturgy. The third movement begins with two quotations from music written in this key – Sulzer’s L’Cha Dodi (on the flute) and Lewandowski’s Ma Tovu (on solo violin). These motifs are both altered and combined with a more modal cello solo, leading to a fast, repetitive figure in the strings and piano. This in turn introduces four fast sub-sections: a slightly dissonant and dance-like version of the Tavo L’Fanecha melody; the familiar Sukkot melody; the Pesach Adir Hu melody; and a melody derived from the Rad Halayla tune used on Simchat Torah. While these sections are more joyful than the preceding movements, the dissonant element is not completely lost, and one of the more mournful melodies from earlier movements is heard again. The movement, however, ends in tranquillity – a mood introduced by the recapitulation of the melody from Sulzer’s L’Cha Dodi. This is followed by the same pulsing motif as at the beginning of the movement, and a short, but fully romantic rendition of the melody recently heard in mournful guise. The Etz Chayim Concerto concludes softly, calmly and restfully, on an F-major chord.

BELSIZE SQUARE SYNAGOGUE CHOIR
It was early 1939 and Jewish Refugees were concentrated in the Swiss-Cottage/Finchley Road area. A few got together to form the nucleus of a Community and with the help of the Hon. Lily Montagu and https://www.tradebit.comn’s Wood Liberal Synagogue we were able to hold our first Friday evening Service in the Montefiore Hall on Friday 24th March 1939.
In the weeks preceding this Service, Oberkantor Magnus Davidsohn, who became our first Chazan/Cantor, managed to gather together a group of professional singers – mostly famous stars of Opera from Berlin and Vienna, all of whom sang without a fee. Magnus Davidsohn had sung with them all on the continent. He also ‘found’ for us the brilliant musician Melitta Heim (a retired Opera singer) who accompanied us on the organ until 1950. She was followed by Paul Lichtenstern and later on by David Lawrence, both of whom brought a wealth of talent and knowledge to their playing. Since then we have had a series of exceptional organists to this day. The scores from which we sang had been miraculously saved from the burning Synagogue at Fasanenstrasse Synagogue on Kristallnacht by Magnus Davidsohn who brought them here.
The sound produced by the 1939 choir was outstanding and a hard act to follow but over the 70 years since then, we have continued to be privileged with a choir of very high standard. In all 10 choirmasters have led this choir up to our present Choirmaster, Ben Wolf and after Magnus Davidsohn have come four more Cantors.
Though the choir’s repertoire has been based on the 19th Century music of Salomon Sulzer and Louis Lewandowski, every Cantor in his turn has introduced other music to us which has gradually increased our musical options.
It would be impossible to name all the singers who have sung with us over the years, but the following certainly deserve a mention: https://www.tradebit.comxander, (a breathtaking alto), Franzi Goodman, Mrs. Rosenthal, Hanni Lichtenstern and Sue Heimann, the latter both with stunning soprano voices, https://www.tradebit.coms Kuttner, Eric Goodman, https://www.tradebit.comser, Ernst Frank, Walter French and Juanita Wise.
One of the most satisfying aspects of the choir over the years has been the intense loyalty shown by several non-Jewish singers who fell in love with our music and stayed.
We have been blessed indeed with such loyalty and may I say my own thanks to them here.
Henry Kuttner
