This year, the cantors and music department have had a special focus on Israel, trying to instill hope in the wider Jewish community. As the conflict continues and we still await the release of all hostages, our annual album this year will be Am Yisrael Chai: An October 7th Commemorative Album, featuring both beloved favorites and new songs.

Lyrics and music by Avi Ohayon and Ofir Cohen
Arrangement by Oran Eldor, commissioned by PAS Music Center
