The Priest’s Countenance (Mareh Kohen) - A Yom Kippur Melody

Every year, the High Holiday melodies bring us back - to the words, the memories, the sanctuary, and the feeling of standing together in prayer. They carry awe, beauty, joy, and hope. I grew up singing this setting from the conclusion of the Avodah service, and I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I do. I wish you a Shabbat Shalom and G’mar Chatimah Tovah - may we be sealed for a year of life, blessing, and peace. — Credits: Music: Yigal Calek (1944–2024) Arrangement: Oral Eldor, commissioned by the PAS Music Center Text: Traditional piyyut Music Director: David Enlow Video Editor: Tami Shaham Audio Editor: Oli Jung AV: Oscar Acevedo, Terrell Simms, Erik Van Batavia, Justin Goodman www.azischwartz.com
