Sheet Music, "Michtom L'Dovid," Psalm xvi, arranged by Samuel Luskin

The image depicts a vertically oriented page of handwritten sheet music on aged, slightly yellowed paper. The page is filled with multiple systems of staff lines containing musical notation such as notes, rests, and articulation marks. The handwriting is compact and somewhat darker than in previous images, but still not clear enough to read with certainty. At the top of the page, is written Michtom Lisorld as a title. Across the systems, there are occasional written annotations—possibly lyrics, rehearsal markings, or performance directions—but these are [illegible], or not in English. In the lower half of the page, there are more noticeable handwritten additions or corrections, including clustered notes and symbols, suggesting revisions or emphasis, though their meaning remains [illegible].
Sheet Music, "Adon Olam," arranged by Samuel Luskin
A page of handwritten sheet music on what appears to be aged or yellowed paper. The page is filled with multiple systems of staff lines, each containing dense musical notation, including notes, rests, and possible articulation marks. The handwriting is neat but faint and blurred, making sections details difficult to read. The title of the piece is, Adon Olom. There are sections of marginal text which is difficult to read and is not in English, or in incomplete English. The music is arranged in multiple sections separated by horizontal spacing between systems, suggesting structured phrases or movements, though no explicit section labels (e.g., verse, chorus) can be confirmed.
Sheet Music, "Sim Shalom", arranged by Samuel Luskin
A sheet of handwritten musical notation on aged paper. The page contains several systems of staff lines filled with notes, rests, and other musical markings, suggesting a complete musical piece or excerpt. The marginal notes are largely illegible or using a non-English linguistic framework. The title of the piece is, Sim Sholom. The structure suggests multiple musical phrases separated by line breaks between systems, but no distinct sections (such as labeled verses or choruses) can be confirmed due to the lack of readable text.
