Avinu Shebashamayim - Sol Zim (Arr. Stephen Glass)

Featuring Cantor Gideon Zelermyer and the Shaar Hashomayim Choir (dir. Conor O'Neil)
Our Father in heaven, Protector and Redeemer of Israel, bless the State of Israel, the first flowering of our redemption. Shield her beneath the wings of Your kindness, and spread over her Your canopy of peace. And let us say: Amen.
This is an abridged version of Zim’s famous setting of the Prayer for the State of Israel, composed on the occasion of Israel’s 40th Anniversary. Written originally for solo voice and piano accompaniment, it has become a standard of the cantorial concert repertoire, due largely to its popular refrain.
