    from Hazzan Ayelet Piatigorsky -

    Shalom Everyone,

    In the continued theme of the High Holy Days, I would like to share with you a song that is traditionally sung every time the Shofar is blown during the Musaf service of Rosh Hashanah. This traditional text has found new interpretations in our Machzor, but here it is in its original form, to a setting by a great Hazzan and teacher of mine, Lawrence Avery.

    Hayom Harat Olam     Click here for the text of the song of the week.

    Please note that in an effort to reduce the number of e-mails you receive, the Song of the Week has been consolidated with WES’ weekly e-mailed newsletter…so be sure and look for it there!

    Shabbat Shalom,
    Hazzan Ayelet Piatigorsky

    Note: If you ever want to hear any past Song of the Week, naviagate to Ayelet's Page
    The page includes also D'var Shir - Shabbat Shira, Jan. 2010 special program - both text and melody.
