Shanah Tovah U’metukah

We are delighted to offer you this gift for the High Holidays. Shanah Tovah U’metukah from ALEPH.

This amazing video was created by musician and composer Noah Aronson. Our ALEPH Ordination Program cantorial student Laurie Akers is singing backup on this video.

Noah Aronson writes: I’ve always loved this Rumi poem

“Come, Come, Whoever You Are

Wonderer, worshipper, lover of leaving.
It doesn’t matter.
Ours is not a caravan of despair.
Come, even if you have broken your vow a thousand times
Come, yet again, come, come.”

~Rumi
1250 AD
Sufi

For this video, I worked with the wonderful, New York based sand artist Lopatnik Zhenya to create a prayer for the Jewish New Year.

May this Jewish New Year afford you moments of reflection, renewal and self care. #newyearprayer
