Listen to this Moving Jewish Prayer in Honor of the Deceased at 9/11 Memorial

Translation: O God, full of compassion, Who dwells on high, grant true rest upon the wings of the Shechinah, in the exalted spheres of the holy and pure, who shine as the resplendence of the firmament, to the souls of Victims of September 11th who [have] gone to their eternal home; may their place of rest be in Gan Eden. Therefore, may the All-Merciful One shelter them with the cover of His wings forever, and bind their souls in the bond of life. The Lord is their heritage; may they rest in peace; and let us say: Amen!

Magnificent! Brings tears to my eyes

[@drdonrs]

I am 89 yrs old and remember well visiting my Bubbe in Brooklyn in the mid 1930's and my uncle taking me to a Schule where immigrant Jews from Eastern Europe were praying. The Cantor's voice had the same haunting beauty as Azi Schwartz' magnificent voice.

Thank you

[@cullensmith1817]

Here's hoping you are alive. You got stories to tell. If you crossed over, hopefully your family has the stories.

[@teriweatherby3766]

This is one of the most hauntingly beautiful and moving prayers I've ever heard. Azi Schwartz is the Cantor at Park Avenue Synagogue in Manhattan. If I lived closer, I'd love to attend just to hear him - his voice touches one's soul.

Christians (Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant), Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Shinto, Sikhs, Buddhists, etc. all gather at Ground Zero in New York City for a moment of silence to those who died on that fateful day, and this Jew chanting a prayer to the dead is so powerful. Never Forget 9/11. In Memory of the 3000 people who died on September 11, 2001. 🇺🇲🇮🇱✝️☪️✡️🕉️⛩️☸️☯️🕊️🕊️

Why did 4000 Israelis avoid work on 9/11 and why did only 3 Israelis die on 9/11?

[@zlauriault]

The grief in Israel caused by barbarians who attack Israelis just like they brutalize Gazans is horrible in Israel right now, just as it is in Ukraine. עם ישראל חי

[@eliesakroudi5783]

مجموعه انبياء بني اسرائيل محجبات وساكنه مؤمنات ومؤمنين امهات ابناء وبنين اباء واحفاد رباب في بني اسرائيل لذاكرتي امي الله يرحم المؤمنين في شريعه يعقوب وتوراه موسى صدق الذي تعال علوشانه رب اوروهم يصحوق ويعقب. من صلوم ايما لسرمد يسرال
