The Sound of Silence - LIVE From Rosh Hashanah Services
High Holidays

5m 18s

If you recognize some of the singers here, it’s because they also opened the Tony Awards earlier this year. Singing with them on Rosh Hashanah was a privilege, and a reminder that sometimes the most powerful prayer is found not in the noise, but in the silence.
