Regardless of where we are in our life's journey, God gives the world a chance to begin anew, to become reborn, to find that feeling of newness Since the Yamim Noraim are different from any other time of the year, not only do the services change, the melodies change as well. On Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur, these melodies are changed to a different nusach , or mode. Even the chanting of the Torah requires a special trope, or cantillation. Rather, it is meant to separate the Holy Day from the average day in order to make it special. At High Holy Day services, we awaken our spirits by making the music special and new.
Music is the window to the heart.
At this High Holy Day Season, I encourage all of you to embrace the music and prayers with an open heart. May they inspire you to become new again, and to birthdays with joy and pride once more.
