Yom Kippur Singing

Oct 7, 2024 | A Rabbi Writes

Over the decades, I have composed melodies for some of the texts we use in our prayer services. (I’ve written English interpretations of the texts for a few of them.)

Some of them are posted here so we can sing them together at Shirat Hayam and, even if not used there, simply for your listening pleasure. More tunes (and another CD of original songs) will be available in later autumn 2025 on a CD and for digital download at www.jonathankremer.com.

 

harofei: (Psalms 147:3) a song to accompany (or to serve as) a prayer for healing.

harofei

ki hinei kachomer (Mahzor Lev Shalem p. 227) As clay in the hands of the potter…so are we in Your hand, Guardian of love…

ki hinei kachomer

ya’ale: (Mahzor Lev Shalem p. 223) May our voices rise up at evening…transforming us at dusk.

ya'ale
