Speaking of Central Synagogue, I never tire of this YouTube video from
Shabbat Shirah (Sabbath of Song), on which the Torah portion to be
read was the Song of the Sea, which we know as the Song of Moses, or
Canticle 8 (in BCP 1979). This is one occasion when the congregation
stands for the Torah reading, and in this clip, a rabbi chants the
text after showing how it is uniquely written on the scroll, to
symbolize the "bricks" in the "walls" of water between which the
people of Israel walked "with unmoistened foot." The people join in
when she gets to "Mi Chamocha," which they know as a standard part of
the Shabbat service: "Who can be compared with you, O Lord, among the
Gods?..."

This clip often brings me to tears...
