We bet you probably have not heard the Eitz Chayim prayer with trumpets, and yet, in last week’s parashah, Moses is commanded to fashion two silver trumpets for assembling the Israelites, whether for war, assembly, or worship, and holidays.

Recorded live on Rosh Hashanah 2022.
Music: Tanchum Portnoy, arr. Stephen Glass & Jason Weisinger
Music Director: David Enlow
AV: Oscar Acevedo, Erik van Batavia, Justin Goodman
