Music, Israel

Since learning of the many kidnappings on October 7, amid images of families weeping for those taken captive, we join those families in their sorrow and hope for the hostages’ safe return. This week, Cantor Schwartz visited the Kotel, sometimes called the “Wall of Tears,” to try to bring comfort to families, and to bring light through the song Yam Shel D’maot (Sea of Tears). Join us in this prayer for the safe return of the hostages.
