My business trip to Paris continued, and fortunately Mira bailed me out for a night by doing this recitation of the Muslim prayer “El Shehadah” and the Jewish Mourner’s prayer “Kaddish.” She was thinking about all the unrest in North Africa that’s filled the headlines lately.

More about Erin…
Glad I could help. It was a bit daunting recording the Shehedah, but I really wanted to, and it felt good. I’m working up to reciting the entire Fatiheh, but I’m not ready yet. But I still have to think about why reciting the Shehedah feels so good, and I still struggle with the kaddish…
Hmm.
Perhaps you could tell us about the El Shehadah? It’s not particularly amenable to Googling—yes, I tried—and I’m probably not the only one who would like to understand better what we’re hearing.
