>> it was clear. also, very often, you think of going out for a job and will they like me?

and they choose me. but honestly, i looked into the history of the place. when i knew they only had five cancers -- five cantor's. it was a place that love their clergy and respected them and honor them. that meant a lot to me. i was choosing them as well. >> there is so much history of the congregation itself and so many ways in which music has been pivotal to the relationship that emanuel has had to its own congregation and the community at large. i know they have a beautiful relationship. and music is a part of that relationship. we have a couple of clips we will share. can you share with us what we are going to see from the third baptist? one is singing in your dish -- yidish. >> there was a partnership formed with the third baptist church. we always got together on the martin luther king weekend.

and the church would come to us on friday night and bring their choir. we would go there sunday morning and i would usually thing. over the years, i have done presentations, trying to introduce the community there to some of the jewish culture and jewish music. sometimes i just came with a message. this particular year, with all of the troubles that have been happening, all of the problems we have had with ferguson and all the racist stuff that has been going on, all the anti-semitism in the world, i just brought a message of keeping hope alive, more or less. >> let's go to the third baptist church -- a beautiful clip with cantor tyler eischens. >> there are three ways to us -- express grief. three ways to mourn.

the first is to cry. the second is to grow silent. and the third is to sing. so we will sing today. through these three little songs, we will sing about transformation, how to deal with this. there is a little yiddish song, not so little. but i will sing a little bit of it. it is a song -- some of you know the song, i picked myself up, and i dust myself off and i start all over again. this was and is in yiddish. it says the same thing. and it says, -- it said something but i don't have it in front of me. what it says is, the world with me around. -- carries me through fire. it carries me through --

excuse my expression in a baptist church, hell. and it says, i burn and i burn, but i am not consumed. i keep going. i get up. and i keep going. that is the first way to deal with this. [ singing ]

>> then there is another way to deal with it. >> cantor baruch. we will take a quick break and come back to mosaic in just a moment.

welcome back to mosaic. i'm rabbi eric weiss. we are in the middle of a conversation with cantor rossen

baruch who has spent a lifetime of her career at the congregation many -- emmanuelle. and about to retire later in the early summer. in october -- okay. thank you for the correction. i'm wondering if you think of -- your long and beautiful career, what have you seen in terms of the uses of music and the jewish landscape and congregations in the community? >> classical reform was rather formal. when i came to san francisco, we were still in classical reform mode. it was a very short friday night service. a half an hour. it was 5:30 p.m. and it was over at 6:00. not a lot of music in the service. but just enough. a lot of english and the prayers. when we remodeled -- the

martin meyer sanctuary, we moved to the friday night services there. and it started to get longer and longer. it was an hour. it stretched to an hour. more music. more hebrew. and a lot of more contemporary type of music was coming into the service. debbie friedman was a songwriter and song leader who made a huge impression in the jewish community. and some music was very touching. but very contemporary. so those kind of innovations started coming in. and music has changed dramatically now. it is very different. instead of an organ, there are keyboards of all kinds. and instruments of all kinds. and guitars, especially. >> and emmanuelle -- some things you have had to do at

the conversation and really worldwide, is that you have brought a lot of music to interface settings. and we have a clip of you with other cantors in rome. >> yes. >> i'm wondering if we can take a moment and watch what you are doing in rome with music. >> i was approached by the president of the american conference of cantors with a project that would sort of build bridges between the jewish and catholic communities. and we were told we were going to go sing at the vatican. and it was very exciting. and somehow, it started coming together and i actually programmed the concert. and included a lot of music from over the different -- all different styles and over the centuries of different jewish liturgical music. we had 20 cantors. and even some from the bay area. we all went to rome.

we didn't wind up singing at the vatican. but we did give a concert at a beautiful church in the center of rome. we had a wonderful experience there. and we brought this music to people who might never hear it. >> let's take a look at cantor rossen baruch and her colleagues in rome. >> [ singing ]

[ singing ] >> that was cantor rossen baruch. join us in another moment when we return here to mosaic.

welcome back to mosaic. we are in the middle of a beautiful conversation with cantor rossen baruch at congregation emmanuelle. at your many years at the congregation, you have been involved in so many people's lives. i think a lot of people don't know that in jewish life, a cantor is coequal clergy with the rabbi and so officiates at all lifecycle events, becomes

engaged in everything from counseling issues, hospital visits -- a whole range of clergy activity. and so i am just wondering, if you look back, just talk a little bit about how you have used music and how music is used and supports people through funeral, memorial services, weddings, happy occasions, sad occasions. >> i have had some really dramatic moments with that. visiting a person who is dying, and singing to them. i had one incredible experience where one woman -- a lovely congregate, -- she was more or less unconscious. she was about to pass. i went to visit her and held her hand and saying -- sang. and drive finished, she was

gone. that was shattering in a way but quite beautiful to be there at that time. but to know that she went peacefully on the wings of song. people tell me all the time, did means to them. because, i think, working in partnership with a rabbi, you experience the cognitive. and then you experience the effective. and so you get the intellect, you get the message, you get the learning and knowledge. you also get the ability to feel through the music. to express things that you may not be able to express otherwise. so i know it is very powerful for people to hear music. to hear soulful music. and to be supported that way. i think music is a very supportive thing, as far as your emotional life. >> it is amazing that we are at the end of our time together. it is almost putting a pause in

the conversation. we will hear some more music that you brought to third baptist church. i want to say thank you so much for being with us cantor rossen baruch and thank you for a lifetime career that gave so much do san francisco, the jewish community, and the community at large. >> the morning when i was discussing how we deal with our grief and our pain, i ended with saying, those in tears will reap in joy. this is a tune of debbie friedman. i started off by singing it myself. and then everybody started to join in. it just became an incredible communal outpouring together. it was a lovely experience. >> third baptist church. please enjoy. >> the way to deal with this is to hang on to help.

just keep hanging on. because it says, those who have tears, shall resume joy. we need to remember that. we need to never give up on that. [ singing ]

broadway out of the gate! a show been showered w hello everyone. welcome to bay sunday. i am your host, frank mallicoat. a bit of broadway. a show that has been sheltered -- shower that made over $100 million on broadway. a smash sensation. it tells the tale of a charismatic newsboy who leads a ragtag bunch of teenagers in the turn of the century streets as a battle publishing titans over wages. we are delighted to have two of the stars. dan deluca and stephanie styles. good morning. >> thanks for having us. >> you just opened this week. how is san francisco? >> it has been amazing. the audien
