The Recorded Sound Archives (RSA) is a unit of FAU Libraries Special Collections department. We are located in the Wimberly Library on FAU's Boca Raton campus.

Originally established in 2002 as a small project dedicated to the preservation of recorded Jewish music, it has matured into a robust digitization operation for all types of sound recordings.

Notes In this recording created by the Judaica Sound Archives® from Cantor Schwimmer's “home recordings,” the cantor ambitiously attempts to teach future cantors and Baal T'filas the basic nussach of both Shabbat and Yom Tov that would be heard in a traditional orthodox synagogue. It should be pointed out, however, that many of his melodic patterns can be used in most conservative shuls as well. Cantor Schwimmer's pleasant voice and clear pronunciation are easy to follow.

Recordings restricted by copyright will only play 45 seconds to give you a sense of what that recording originally sounded like. These recordings can be identified by the words (Research Station) in the music player.
