Neesaf Tishrei (The Passing of Tishrei)
Song of the Week
•
5m 52s
The lyricist Natan Yonathan builds on opening words from the Medieval Sephardic poet Shmuel ibn Naghrilla as he marks the passing of months: “Av has died, Elul has died, and heat has died, Tishrei also has come to die with them”, and Tzvika Pik provides music that is in turn mournful and energetic.

From our new album Am Yisrael Chai: An October 7th Commemorative Album, now streaming on all major platforms.
