"Sit Shiva," from Gabriel Kahane's 2022 album Magnificent Bird, finds the composer/singer/songwriter skirting the rules of his digital hiatus in order to mourn, online, the death of his maternal grandmother; in typical fashion, he mines not just pathos, but humor and grace amidst his family’s grief. The video, directed by Kahane and Robert Edridge-Waks, contains excerpt from "New York stock shots" by Urban Safari Film Inc. (C) 1995 City of Vancouver (CC BY 3.0).
