Wise Music Team Releases New Song Just In Time for Yom Kippur
To help us all prepare for Yom Kippur, the Wise music team is proud to present a brand new setting of a quintessential Yom Kippur prayer: Eil Nora Alilah. The text of the prayer was composed in the 12th century by Rabbi Moshe ibn Ezra and is traditionally recited at the beginning of the Ne’ilah service (the closing service on Yom Kippur). Rabbi Yoshi composed English lyrics inspired by the original. David Kates, Music Director, arranged the piece. Our Soulful Shabbat musicians, featuring Yarone Levy, Larry Steen, and Jeff Stern, were asked to record the piece in the studio of Grammy winning producer, Michael Lloyd. Vocals feature Cantor Nathan Lam, Cantor Emma Lutz, Rabbi Yoshi Zweiback, Josh Goldberg, Sara Mann, Jessica Rotter, and Whitney June Aja. You can enjoy the recording, share with family and friends, and prepare for Yom Kippur by following the links below.
