Yehonatan Geffen (1947–2023) was an esteemed Israeli man of letters. This past Rosh Hashanah, we offered the setting of his Makom L’d’agah by composer Matti Caspi (b. 1949). We did not know how significant it would be soon after to sing, “At the edge of the sky, and at the verge of the desert, there is a faraway place filled with wildflowers, a small, humble, crazy place, a far place, a place to worry.”
May the memory of Yehonatan Geffen be for a blessing. Wishing you a Shabbat Shalom.
