    from Hazzan Ayelet Piatigorsky -

    Shavuah Tov Everyone!

    With the High Holy Days approaching so quickly after the summer, and the Song of the Week songster (that’s me) on vacation for a few weeks, I wanted to give you a taste of a new High Holy Day song that the choir will assist me with on Rosh Hashannah. It is a setting of Psalm 150 by a friend and colleague, Hazzan Randy Herman, who is a Cantor in Mt. Kisco . He wrote this when we were all in school together, and is one of my favorite settings of this Psalm.

    Kol Haneshamah (Randy's)

    Enjoy, and I look forward to more when I return!
    Shalom and l’hitraot (see you later).

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