קומי רוני בלילה בראש אשמרות שפכי כמים לבך נכח פני ה

Arise, cry out at night in the beginning of the watches!

Pour out your heart like water in the Presence of the Lord

Dear Friends,

If ever there was a time when our united intense prayers are needed it is now. Israel and Jews all over the globe are under attack. Not since the Holocaust, have we the Jewish People suffered so terribly. Now more than ever our combined heartfelt prayers are needed.

At the end of Neilah we ask the Almighty to gather our tears and place them in His vessel. But what if there are no tears? What if we go about our lives as usual and do not cry out before Hashem?

This year let us all make a special effort to join together in genuine solemn prayer. Meaningful prayer. Intense prayer. Timeless prayer. Prayer for אחינו בית ישראל. Prayer for peace. Prayer for health. Prayer for a year of consolation and healing.

In this spirit you will find below a listing of the nigunim which בע"ה I plan on using during Selichos and Mussaf of Rosh Hashana. (A second list will be published for Yom Kippur.) For this year I have included certain nigunim that have special meaning post October 7.  Please take the time to familiarize yourself with and be inspired by these melodies so that when we join together, we may cry out our hearts in song together as one united people before the Almighty.

 

Wishing you a כתיבה וחתימה טובה,

 

Judah Lifschitz

 

P.S. Thank you to Mitch Taragin for both the idea and for helping to produce the song sheet and playlist.
