[shiezoli]

can somebody explain me what is this song all about who made that and when ???

[JoMagyar234]

It's a song depicting the way Jews act before and during the High Holidays. There is an air of awe and repentance throughout, and everybody begs G-d 'to be inscribed in the book of life' for the year to come. The refrain is in perentacies. At the end we beg G-d that next year we shall lead the services in Jerusalem.

[shiezoli]

thanks !! who made that song and when ????

[JoMagyar234]

It was Composed by Reverend Avraham Singer I dont know his exact bio but he lived in the US in the 40's.

[benzelli]

It is a plea to G-d, translated thus;

"Remember us for life, O King Who seeks to give life, and inscribe us in the Book of Life, for Your sake, O Living G-d ... this prayer is said only during the 10 days form Rosh Hashana to Yom Kippur, the first ten days of the Jewish year.

The Jewish people seek only life. (As opposed to those who seek death, and for which reason there should only be One State of Israel, no second state that teaches its children the cult of death)

[handcraftedbyhope]

To Shiezoli;

It is a song asking Adonai to Remember us and inscribe us in the book of life for another year. The key passage is "Remember us unto life, Sovereign who delights in life, and inscribe us in the Book of Life, for Your sake, O God of life.

Zocreinu, Zocreinu L'Chaim melech hafeitz V'Chaim.

This particular prayer is said only during the Yamim Noraim, the ten Days of Awe that begin with Rosh Hashanah and culminate with Yom Kippur.

Hope the info was helpful.

@pasadenagene Apology accepted.

[pasadenagene]

@StJouish i apologize.

[pasadenagene]

@shiezoli Hi. Incidentally ,that is not a song. It is a prayer, which is said during the ten days of repentence between the Jewish New Year and Yom Kippur. Cantors are religious leaders that are trained to sing [or chant] the prayers in the temple. This is the custom from long ago, and still is used today. I do not know who wrote it, or the date of origin, but it must be many centuries if not 1000s of years old.

[pasadenagene]

@papadopilo Thats the beauty of music, we can appreciate the sound ,even if we dont understand the language.

[pasadenagene]

@timkendal Maybe just the opera singers find the need to open the mouth wide when singing.

[pasadenagene]

@Michaelbos Oh you know of Ronan Tynan ? He used to sing one of our national songs at the New York Yankees games [that is until he was caught making an antisemetic remark], unfortunately the Yankees management decided to release Tynan from his obligation. Too bad, i liked hearing him sing, great voice . But he should have kept his mouth shut especially in New York.

Rabbi Avraham Singer, there is no such thing as a reverend in Judaism

[StJouish]

@pasadenagene Just an incidental comment from someone interested in hair care. No need to be snide. And if you thought it was uncalled for, why generate more correspondence? Why not ignore it and move along?

[pasadenagene]

@StJouish so..
