about

The prayer Hayom Harat Olam is recited
on Rosh Hashana — the first day of the
Hebrew calendar year and is preceded
by the sound of the Shofar. This lyrical
setting of the text has become an iconic
composition of The Jerusalem Great
Synagogue.

*************
Elli Jaffe, an accomplished Israeli conductor
and composer, is the artistic director of the
Jerusalem Great Synagogue Choir and one
of the most influential mentors of Cantor Azi
Schwartz.

lyrics

Today is the birth[day] of the world. Today all
creatures of the world stand in judgment —
whether as children [of God] or as servants.
If as children, be merciful with us as the
mercy of a father for children. If as servants,
our eyes [look toward and] depend upon
You, until You be gracious to us and release
our verdict [clear and pure] as light, O
Awesome and Holy One.
