from Hazan Ayelet -

Shavuah Tov Everyone!

I wanted to share with you a melody that I learned in Israel for another prayer, which I re-imagined to fit Nishmat Kol Chai. I’ve sung it before, but I think it needs help to catch on, so…here it is! Nishmat is found early in the service, around 10:25 by our clock, and if you sleep in, you’ll miss it!

When you have a moment, also read the interpretive Nishmat Kol Chai found on pages 232 and 233 in Kol Haneshamah by Marge Piercy. This is a beautiful and profound prayer, deserving of all of us raising our voices in song!

Enjoy, and see you this Friday and Shabbat!
