"Omar Rabbi Elozor" (In English: "Said Rabbi Eliezar"), performed by Cantor Meyer Kanewsky and his choir in 1919 for Edison Records. The lyrics are based on the last passage of Tractate Berakhot, from the Talmud, with a few repeats. The first line roughly translates as: "Said Rabbi Elazar, quoting Rabbi Chaninah, Scholars increase the levels of peace in the world".
