Although the Ukulele is not commonly used in traditional Jewish
music, it lends itself perfectly to the pieces you will find in my
ebook, ?The Jewish Ukulele?. I have arranged a number of Jewish
standards, some Klezmer and also an original piece, all for solo
Ukulele. If you have never tried music of this style, this book is the
ideal starting point. The book assumes you already have a grasp
of some basic chord shapes and encourages you to play chords
and melody together, all the way up the neck.

Many years ago I wrote arrangements of 8 Jewish melodies (which are still available for flute and guitar, for clarinet and guitar and also for guitar trio).
This year (2018) I decided to make more varied arrangements for the melody instrument and guitar duo format, and I have compiled them here.
They are based on the following traditional tunes:

Reb Itzikel's Niggun (The song of Rabbi Ezekiel)
Papirossen (Lament of the cheap cigarette seller)
Ve David yefeh einaim (And [King] David had beautiful eyes)
Hora Ne'urim (Dance of youth)
Hora Nirkoda (Let's dance the Hora)
Ozi v'zimrat yah (The Lord is my strength and song)
Debka Gilbo'a (Dance from Gilboa)
Bo Dodi (Come, beloved)

Shlof Mein Kind is a Yiddish lullaby, often performed by Klezmer musicians. This version is arranged as a duet for one Violin and one Viola.

There are two melodies in use for Shlof Mein Kind. The melody in this arrangement is the lesser known one, as sung by Paul Robeson. There is no record of the tune?s composer, but the words are a setting of a poem by the Jewish Ukrainian writer, Sholem Aleichem. Aleichem is best known as the creator of the ?Tevye? short stories, which later inspired the musical ?Fiddler on the Roof?.

Shlof Mein Kind is arranged in a key and range best suited to the instruments. The simple melody is played three times with varying accompaniment. Shlof Mein Kind is suitable for players at an intermediate level and above. Around three minutes long, this version of Shlof Mein Kind invites an expressive performance andis perfect for concert performances, both formal and informal.
