Yom kippuer - U’Netaneh Tokef (music)

Many people look forward to the recitation of U’Netaneh Tokef as one of the highlights of Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur. This year, Jonathan Novich plans to use a tune that many have never heard.
The background is this: In the 1973 Yom Kippur war, kibbutz Beit Hashita lost eleven of its sons. For the 60th anniversary of the Kibbutz, Yair Rosenblum composed a tune for "U'Netaneh Tokef. The tune is very powerful and stirring and makes the connection between the ultimate sacrifice of Rabbi Amnon of Mainz, the author of the prayer, and the 2,656 Israeli soldiers who fell in the Yom Kippur War.
