When musicians on the Jewish circuit sing about God, repentance, and prayer… well, it’s easy to overlook if you’re not tuned in to that community. We’ve written before about the blurred lines between religious and secular in Israeli culture, and that trend isn’t going away anytime soon. Please save us… Omer Adam – “Timchal Li” Israeli Music and the High Holy Day Season Will you listen to my voice, grant me forgiveness at the time of ‘Neila” Borrowing liberally from the Yom Kippur liturgy, his new song is a prayer for forgiveness as we approach the year ahead. Superstar Omer Adam, who typically uses his musical pulpit to sing about love, shows a spiritual side in his new song “Timchal Li” (Forgive Me). And whether religious or secular, we’ve all done things of which we’re not proud over the past year. “It always makes me emotional.” Omer Adam – Timchal Li (Forgive Me)Ī major part of the Yom Kippur liturgy focuses on forgiveness. “I sing it right before I break,” he writes.

Still, he’s been singing it in his head non-stop ever since. Hanan Ben-Ari says that he wrote the song three years ago, but there was always another song which came out and took precedence. And he will also help repair my broken heart, Hanan sings, sending strength when I need it most.Īnd ensure that I will not give up at the end… Hanan Ben Ari – “Shvurei Lev” The song underscores all of God’s positive qualities: He is merciful, forgiving, heals the sick, creates light, etc. It is a breathtaking, spiritual, soulful song, with a Gospel-type choir thrown in for good measure. Hanan Ben Ari – no stranger to emotional songs with religious undertones – released “Shvurei Lev” (those with a broker heart). Hanan Ben-Ari – Shvurei Lev (Those With Broken Hearts) And so today (8/20), the world awoke to two gorgeous, powerful songs to help get us in the High Holy Day spirit. With Rosh Hashana 30 days away, the musical floodgates have opened. (See one of the biggest hits from last year, “Seder HaAvoda” by Ishay Ribo.) Songs emerge offering blessings, good wishes, and prayers for the year ahead.Īnd inevitably, there will be references to the Jewish High Holy Day liturgy. It’s a time of new beginnings, apples and honey, Shofar blasts, and of course, introspection and repentance.Īs such, the world of Israeli music often kicks itself into New Year’s mode this time each year. The Jewish month of Elul is here…and with it’s arrival, the countdown to Rosh Hashana begins.
