The Magen Avot prayer speaks of awe, rest, Shabbat, peace, and remembering creation. Seeking a summary of keeping Shabbat, it’s hard to think of a better one! As we keep Shabbat in the midst of Passover, this classic style of Hazzanut singing evokes the world of Jewish music and tradition like no other, and we hope it helps you look back as we approach the Yizkor service and Yom HaShoah.

"Magen Avot" composed by Cantor Simon Zemachson (as chanted by Cantor Mordechai Hershman), arrangement by Raymond Goldstein, orchestrated by Cantor Joseph Ness
