Yom Kippur 5775

[Statistikhengst]

The Yomaim Noreem (High Holidays) essentially end tomorrow evening at the end of Yom Kippur, which begins tonight at sundown and ends with the gates being closed in conjunction with Havdalah tomorrow at sundown. Many Jews consider it a special blessing when YOM KIPPUR also falls directly on Shabbat.

Tonight is the traditional KOL NIDRE (all oaths) service.

This is a much lesser known cantillation of the KOL NIDRE, from Morocco, one you might find has a special drawing power to it:




I also like the fact that the translation for KOL NIDRE is provided with this video, for our non-Jewish friends and acquaintances.


Warmest wishes to all of my Jewish brethren for an easy fast, and may you all be sealed in the Book of Life for the next year:

"G'mar chatimah Tovah", Khavverim

I'm off to a different city this afternoon to daven tonight.

And just to show how our world grows together, here is a fine russian men's chorus singing Meir Finkelstein's Va'l Kulom:





I met Meir when he was working in Toronto. Great guy, writes beautiful stuff, is a wonderful soul.
