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 | The first of the rebbes of the Modzitz dynasty was Rabbi Ezekiel of Kuzmir (1775-1856), a grandson of Shlomo Zalman, one of the Baal Shem Tov's disciples. Rabbi Ezekiel stressed song and dance to his followers and said, �To me the Sabbath is not complete unless I hear a new nigun.� The musical tradition of the dynasty was carried on by who followed. It is estimated that the Modzitz rabbis composed thousands of nigunim. |
