The Hapsburgs finally let the Jewish community in Vienna open a new synagogue in 1827. Although Reform Judaism is a largely American phenomenon, the roots of it date back to the Enlightenment. The rabbi for the new temple in Vienna was Robert Mannheimer, an avatar of the reform movement. He chose as his cantor a conservative, Solomon Sulzer.
In those days, there were parties in Vienna known as Schubertiades, where Franz would show off his latest songs and piano pieces. During the interludes, Schubert would improvise various German dances at the piano while everyone else danced, and he would later write these down for possible publication. At one gathering, Sulzer chatted with Schubert during a break in the proceedings, and Schubert handed him the hand-written sheet music for The Wanderer. Sulzer sight-read and sang it without difficulty. Schubert corrected some of his phrasing while making notes on the original score, and Sulzer sang it again, this time perfectly.
This is what Sulzer sang. At 2:00, we hear the theme Schubert used for his famous Wanderer Fantasie for piano.
Sulzer then hired Schubert to write an a capella Hebrew setting of Psalm 92 for the first service in the new temple. For the next three weeks, Sulzer put Schubert through a crash course in Hebrew. Poetry in Hebrew has neither rhyme nor meter, but is prose with a poetic feel. Then there is the matter of emphasis and accent. It took a bit of coaching, but Schubert rose to the challenge.
This particular video has organ accompaniment, which should have been left out.
Through him all things are possible.
The number of people who run a business out of their homes is in the millions. But some have found that working alone can be a little too lonely. To give these lonely ones a community, co-working spaces have been designed. Large facilities are rented out where people working by themselves can share space with others. They have their own work area but can exchange ideas with fellow independent workers. Its for those who feel they can work better together than they do alone.
Sometimes Christians think they work better alone. But we are meant to work together with others in the church. Every Christian has been placed into the body of Christ (1 Cor. 12:27). And the Lord desires that we take part in fellowship with a local community of believersusing our spiritual gifts and working together in His service.
Yet for various reasons, some arent able to join in. Because of health issues, they may be shut in at home or may not know how to fit in at church. Yet they are a needed part of the body (vv.22-25). Thats when others can meet their need for togetherness. Lets do our part so that others may feel theyre an integral part of the community of faith. We work better together than alone.
Read: 1 Corinthians 12:12-27
