Am Yisrael Chai: An October 7th Commemorative Album
This album captures the soundtrack of a historic year, reflecting the sorrow of the Jewish people in response to the atrocities of October 7th, the hostage crisis, the ongoing war, and the global surge in antisemitism. The music features both new and traditional prayers and songs of mourning, healing, resilience, a call to action, peace, and hope. Am Yisrael Chai!
Recordings
From generation to generation we celebrate our past and invest in the future through music. The Music Center is proud to continue the synagogue’s long tradition of commissioning liturgical works by inviting accomplished composers to write for our services. Most of the pieces on these albums were composed in recent years.
Our worship evolves with new liturgical settings that accommodate the musical sensibilities of our generation. From innovative instrumentations to a novel pace, from using Sephardi expressions to singing prayers in English, we build on our heritage and draw meaning from it.
