Very rarely, a smell, taste or sight can bring back a stong memory of childhood. A video posted on youtube 2 days ago did just that...
The video shows the KAJ (Breuer's) Choir singing ובנחה יאמר by Japhet. Hearing this melody brought back such a strong memory of time spent in our little yekke shul as a kid that the NF literally could taste the Kedem Malaga kiddush wine and Schnecken cookies served at the Shabbat Mevarchim kiddush following musaf.
While the NF acknowledges that his little yekke shul was far from perfect, I have many happy memories from going to shul as a kid. I must wonder what associations are being created in my the 4 little NFs' heads going to a "vanilla" Israeli shul and hearing timless classics such as Avini Avini.
