Messianic Jewish Music
“Etz Chajim” – The Tree of Life, presented by “Hillel Tokazier, is a collection of Jewish songs, some of which are new compositions, and some traditional melodies of the synagogue performed in a new way. The songs are a combination of different styles and types of music, varied folk music traditions, dance and entertainment music, rock, blues, and gospel.
A couple of the songs on the album are performed by a children's choir. They have a beautiful bright sound that is very refreshing. These selecions would make excellent sing-along songs for any children's group.
