“Bearers of tears, bring our tears before the Ruler who tends to those in tears.” When Cantor Schwartz and his daughter sing these words, we recall that every parent has held a child in tears.

Join us in prayers, in cries, and in tears, as we rejoice and remember solemnly through the services of the High Holidays.
Music: Chaim Banet, arr. Oran Eldor commissioned by PAS Music Center
Music Director: David Enlow
Audio: Oli Jung & Oscar Acevedo
Live from Yom Kippur Service at Park Avenue Synagogue, 2023
