Audio recording of Mike Gelbart reciting the Shabbat haftora blessings. These are recited during the Shabbat morning prayer service before and after reading a portion from the Prophets/Neviim. An Ashkenazi pronunciation and tune can be heard. Originally recorded on cassette tape by Mike Gelbart for his son Herschel Gelbart who was then in Durban. This is one of a number of recordings of different parts of the synagogue service that he made. Over the years Herschel made copies of these recordings for others and later they were digitised by his cousin Sidney Getz (Mike's nephew). See the SAJM Archive YouTube for more recordings:
