The Melodies

We set out on a journey spanning centuries of creation and adaptation of musical pieces and melodies of the High Holiday prayers. The sanctity of the Days of Awe seeks to engage and move congregants, with melodies that are at times chosen even when they are unrelated to the source or cultural value that they had in their original context.
