Hopes for Next Year (Bashanah Haba’ah)

“You will yet see how good it will be next year.” I’ve always been inspired by the resilience of Israeli poet Ehud Manor(1941-2005) who wrote this song following the loss of his younger brother Yehuda in battle in 1968. May we all be so hopeful. Praying for peace in the new secular year. Wishing you a happy and safe 2024 and a Shabbat Shalom Recorded live at Park Avenue Synagogue on Erev Rosh Hashanah, 2023 Music: Nurit Hirsh Arranged by Oran Eldor, commissioned by the PAS Music Center Music Director: David Enlow Voices: Cantors Azi Schwartz and Mira Davis AV: Oscar Acevedo, Terrell Simms, Erik Van Batavia Video Editor: Tami Shaham www.azischwartz.com
