A highlight from this year’s Rosh Hashanah service was Cantor Schwartz performing “Hayom T’amtzeinu” (Strengthen Us Today) to the tune of “9 to 5.” It was a joyful tribute to Dolly Parton and the goodness she brought into the world.
As Rabbi Zuckerman said in his introduction, may her legacy continue to remind us to show up every day, do the work, and bring a little more kindness into the world – from 9 to 5, and beyond.
Wishing you a Shanah Tovah. May it be a year of strength, goodness, and joy.
Music: Dolly Parton
Words: Rosh Hashanah liturgy, adapted by Cantor Azi Schwartz
Music director: David Enlow
AV: Oscar Acevedo, Terrell Simms, Erik Van Batavia, Justin Goodman
