It is wonderful to hear sweet voices and prayers from our people around the world.

[@picounionproject7860]

I add my voice in Absentia! Beautiful song. Beautiful voices. Beautiful message. Amen Sela!

[@PinkHawk191]

Yay Cantor Ellerin! I am so grateful that he is now the Cantor at Baltimore Hebrew Congregation!

[@theatremaniagrl14]

This is my favorite song for Rosh Hashanah, I listen to this on repeat!

[@BramWeiser]

No argument with how good this video/song/recording is, but I'd encourage you to also take a listen (and, as this is KZbin, a look ;-) ) at The Maccabeats' "Book of Good Life", a "parody" of OneRepublic's "Good Life". I'd bet you'd enjoy that, too. :-)

[@dailystar2010]

OUTSTANDING, touching and so very special. I sang this for my congregation's first day services as my solo, it was great.

[@WorthingtonResumes]

So many will be touched. Whenever have we needed such a beautiful message more than now? Thank you 92nd St Y! Shalom from Columbus, Ohio!!

This beautiful song, so full of hope and inspiration, really made my New Year. I am so touched by the beauty of this song, and it's message...something everyone can enjoy. Even my gentile minister friend was moved by it. Now, the only thing I'd like to find out is how to get the lyrics and guitar chords so we can sing it during the High Holidays, as well. Thank you, a million fold, for this song. L'shana Tova all the way from Hawaii, Karen Block Russell :)

[@patrickstewart3883]

Fantastic music. I saw it pore-covid but it speaks to me even more loudly now. I would love to get my choir to sing it when the restrictions here (Manitoba Canada) are lifted and our common sense tells us its safe for 223 singers to get together again so we can rock this piece and "start over!" Thanks for the printed music too. Did you ever make a score for the piano and other instruments or an SATB score?

[@Gleegirl4739]

I go to Adat Arie El and I have been going since birth

[@anadunder6117]

Fantástico! Amei,,,

[@prayables3622]

Lyrics - sing it at your dinner table this Rosh Hashannah. A NEW YEAR May this be a year of love and kindness May strangers come to be friends May truth and compassion always guide us ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-meyn May this be a year of hope and healing for all of those in need may all of our deeds be a blessing ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-meyn a new year, a good year, a chance to start all over a new year, a sweet year, a chance to bring us closer May this be a year of selfless giving may this be a year of peace and may we forgive and be forgiven ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-meyn a new year, a good year, a chance to start all over a new year, a sweet year, a chance to bring us closer a new year, a good year, a chance to start all over a new year, a sweet year, a chance to bring us closer Closer to the ones we love a world that we can be proud of as long as there are stars above there comes a new year ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-meyn

To Diane Zahavi--I was able to post it on my FB page--

[@chelamae]

Will there be an iTunes version to download? I find myself replaying it....

[@debrasmith8566]

How can I buy the sheet music for our choir next year?

[@blueroseviolin1294]

Is there an accompaniment track in the same key as the sheet music? I want to play it on my violin for Rosh Hashanah. Thank you in advance.
