Gabriel A. Shrem - גבריאל אברהם שרים

Born in Egypt in 1916, Gabriel A. Shrem immigrated to the United States in 1930, whereas the rest of his family had immigrated several years earlier. During these few years he lived with his maternal uncle, Abraham Chehebar (father to Gabriel Chehebar A"h), who raised him and taught him pizmonim and Hazzanut.

Upon his arrival to New York City, he quickly moved down south to join his family in business temporarily settling in Macon, Georgia where he married Rachel Shrem. At this time, there were about ten Sephardic families living in Macon. These families prayed regularly with the Ashkenazim on the Sabbath, but on the holidays, they made their own minyan, where Gabriel, my grandfather, conducted the services.

In 1941, Gabriel and his family permanently moved to Bensonhurst in Brooklyn, New York. Immediately upon his arrival he was offered the position of Cantor at the Betesh Synagogue, “K’nese Betesh”, and several years later, in 1945 he began his tenure at Magen David of 67th Street, where he faithfully served until 1963, as their senior cantor.

In 1963, he was offered to move to Ocean Parkway, by Mr. Eddie J. Sitt to serve as cantor at Congregation B’nai Yosef, formally called Magen David, originally located on East 4th St. and Quentin Road, where he served until his passing on August 22, 1986, while on a trip to Israel. He was buried on Mount Olives in Jerusalem.

In the 1950s, he teamed up with Mr. Sam Catton of the Sephardic Heritage Foundation to publish the community’s first Pizmonim book, "Shir u’Shbacha Hallel ve’Zimra", and several years later he edited a daily prayer book “Bet Yosef Ohel Abraham Gabriel”.

In the mid to late 1970s, Gabriel accepted a position of Professor of Sephardic Hazzanut in the Cantorial Training Institute of Yeshiva University, where he taught classes every Monday night for 4 years. During these years, as his eyesight was weak, I accompanied him to his classes. As a preparation tool for these classes, he created cassette tapes, representing all of the major Maqamat, Ta’amim, Baqashot, Selihot, and other recordings. The course at Yeshiva University continues to teach many Sephardic students.

Twenty years after these tapes were recorded, my nephew, David M. Betesh, the only great grandchild of Gabriel Shrem born during his lifetime, who has saved and collected these tapes decided to re-release and upgrade both the already published and the unpublished works. David had a vision to reproduce these tapes on CD format, which has taken much time and effort, to present back to the community for individuals interested in gaining a better understanding of Hazzanut.

Gabriel A Shrem & David M Betesh

It is the hope of the entire Shrem family that the memory of Daddy Gabe, his knowledge and character lives on with his music.

Bayat	319	246	מעזי אז כלה קץ	Raphael Tabbush Shalosh Regalim. Ma'Uzi, meaning 'the source of our strength', was composed to be sung during the three festivals when we are commanded to rejoice. It is based on Psalms 42-43 which are said throughout the Sukkot holiday. The words of the pizmon, like Psalms 42-43, are clearly tinged with longing, melancholy, and even pain. They remind us of the times when our hopes were raised, when we thought that redemption was at hand, only to have those hopes crushed. Only at the end does it conclude with hope of returning to the temple in the future during the three festivals.	G. Shrem	שועת עניים
