  • This video clip, which was produced especially for the Jewish High Holidays, shows the IDF chief cantor and IDF soldiers singing the prayer "Unetanneh Tokef" in the Great Synagogue in Tel Aviv.
    The video features footage of the Yom Kippur War and one of its heroes, Brig. Gen. (res.) Avigdor Kahalani, who was a battalion commander in the Armored Brigade, fought in the battle of the Valley of Tears and was awarded a Medal of Valor.

    Brig. Gen. (res.) Avigdor Kahalani -- Head of Association for the Well-Being of Israeli Soldiers
    Ofir Sobol -- Producer and musical arranger
    The Great Synagogue on Allenby St. in Tel Aviv

    Kibbutz Beit Hashita

      The Yom Kippur war was a very frightening moment for Israel, attacked on five different fronts. It says so much about the Israel IDF that they were eventually to win, through with terrible loss of life, 2790, for such a tiny country

    Folks when I was younger, I lived in Israel. When they controlled the Sinai, and I was able to visit the Holy Mountain. We got to the top and the feeling that came upon. Scared the hell out of me, meaning I was young and never really understood all of the hype. Well that damn sure taught me a lesson, we also had a squad of the IDF watching over us.

    Totally magical with something extraordinary. I enjoy all types of music from all different countries and from all religious beliefs. You don't have to be Jewish, Catholic, Protestant, Muslim, Buddhist, or any other religion or ethnicity to feel impact or emotion from music. Music is suppose to move us. Please stop labeling it before we can form our own opinions. I am just as moved listening to Christmas music as I am when I listen to this and I am Jewish. Thank you for posting. Peace.

    From Jerusalem
    From Jerusalem like a mighty Lion,
    Shall come His voice out of Zion,
    As the heavens and earth shake,
    But His people need not quake.
    He is always the strength and hope
    Of Israel's children as they cope
    In a world of sin and living threat,
    But doom will pose never a fret.
    In His hands shall the faithful rest
    And in His heart,the chosen best,
    But all who fail to know His name
    Shall feel His wrath and their shame.
    He is just and our loving Sovereign,
    Who knows that we are all brethren,
    So He forgives us within His grace
    To take us home to His holy Place.
    G W (Bill) Marshall / 2011
    The Mountains Of The Lord
    His mountains shall be above all mountains,
    His house above Zion's hills shall rest,
    For this is the pool of the golden fountain,
    His people,the chosen few and best.
    The rivers will flow to the shores of Zion,
    For the world will soon know this King,
    The proven Master we could rely on,
    The Shepherd worthy above everything.
    His exalted name will be widely praised,
    When He returns to vanquish the beast,
    And everywhere voices will be raised
    In celebration with His banquet feast.
    Let fair warning go throughout the land
    He will return with shield and sword
    And as Satan shall take his last stand,
    My Friend shall show that He is Lord.
    G W (Bill)Marshall /Nov 9,2012
