about

Sh’ma Yisrael from the Three Festival liturgy is
a festive, majestic responsorial piece.
Just as it is common for a cantor to wear
different-colored garments during the High Holy
Days and change the Torah covers and ark’s
curtain, it is also common to mark a holiday by
dedicating to it a unique musical liturgy that
speaks to its spirit and meaning.
In contrast to the grave ambience of the High
Holy Days’ liturgy, the high spirit and festivity of
Sukkut calls for a change in temperament. The
Sh’ma by Kirschner represents this change.

[For Emanuel Kirschner’s biography, see: Sarnu.]

lyrics

Hear, O Israel, Adonai is our God, Adonai is one.
Our God is one, great is our sovereign, holy is
God’s name.

[Torah service for Three Festivals]

שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל, יְהֹוָה אֱלהֵינוּ, יְהֹוָה אֶחָד
אֶחָד אֱלהֵינוּ. גָּדול אֲדונֵינוּ. קָדושׁ שְׁמו:

Sh’ma Yisrael Adonai Eloheinu Adonai ehad!
Ehad Eloheinu gadol Adoneinu kadosh Sh’mo
