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 | Hassidism was founded by Israel Baal Shem Tov, whose early life was humble and obscure. On his 36th birthday, Israel �revealed� himself and for the next 24 years of his life, thousands of people came to study his teachings and to absorb his philosophical outlook. The twelve melodies on this disc are a representative selection of Hassidic music as preserved by oral tradition. Three are attributed to the Baal Shem Tov, two others are by his direct disciples, and the others by third, fourth and fifth generations. |
