A Taste of The Awe Highlights of the Yamim Noraim Davening With Beth Jacob Chazan Yonasan Gavant & Pianist Yehudah Levine (See below for list of songs)
As we all know, this Rosh Hoshanah and Yom Kippur 5781 will be different than any we have experienced. The davening will need to be shorter than usual and we cannot all daven together. Many will be unable to attend at all.
With that in mind, Beth Jacob is pleased to present this program in which our Chazan Yonasan Gavant sings many of the highlights of the nussach and piyutim of the Yamim Noraim, accompanied on piano by Yehudah Levine.
While nothing compares to the feeling of davening together with 600+ of our family and friends, we hope this program will help you experience a taste of the awe of these holy days.
Wishing you all a Kesiva V'Chasima Tova, a healthy and happy new year!

He would enter into the place he had entered And stand in the place which he had stood Wash his hands and feet Immerse, arise, and dry off He would come from the place whence he came And go unto the place which he went Remove his mundane clothes Put on the white garments
And thus he would say: Please, O G-d, forgive the sins, the wrongdoings, and the transgressions which I have sinned before You, I and my household And if a man could remember the flaws, the shortcomings All the transgressions, all the wrongdoings Thus he would surely count: One, one and one, one and two One and three, one and four, one and five He would quickly despair Because he wouldn't be able to bear the bitterness, the sin The shame, the blunder The loss
And the Cohanim and the people standing in the courtyard when they would hear the explicated name [of G-d] Emanating from the high priest’s mouth They would kneel, bow down, and fall on their faces “Blessed be the name of His glorious kingdom forever and ever!”
He would step unto the place where he had stepped His face turned to the Holy, his back to the Sanctuary Sinlessly, his mouth and deeds aligned He would come from the place whence he came And go unto the place which he went Remove the white garments Put on the golden garments
And thus he would say: Please, O God, forgive the sins, the wrongdoings, and the transgressions which I have sinned before You, I and my household And if a man could remember the graces, the good All the mercy, all the salvations
Thus he would surely count: One, one and one, one and two One of the thousand, thousands of thousands, and myriad myriads Of miracles and wonders Which You have done for us Days and nights
And the Cohanim and the people standing in the courtyard when they would hear the explicated name [of G-d] Emanating from the high priest’s mouth They would kneel, bow down, and fall on their faces “Blessed be the name of His glorious kingdom forever and ever!”
He would come out of the place where he had come out And tremble in the place which he stood Removed his golden garments Put on his own clothes
And all the people and the priests would accompany him to his house and [he made] a day of festivity for his friends for all of Israel shall be forgiven
Fortunate is the people for whom this is so Fortunate is the people whose G-d is Hashem Fortunate is the people for whom this is so Fortunate is the people whose G-d is Hashem…
As the canopy stretched over those who dwell above - was the appearance of the Cohen As the lightning emanating from the splendor of the angels - was the appearance of the Cohen As the image of the rainbow in the midst of the cloud - was the appearance of the Cohen As the graciousness depicted on the face of a bridegroom- was the appearance of the Cohen
And the Cohanim and the people standing in the courtyard when they would hear the explicated name [of G-d] Emanating from the high priest’s mouth They would kneel, bow down, and fall on their faces “Blessed be the name of His glorious kingdom forever and ever!”
