Description
Filmed during during isolation in 2020, this project had to be set aside while other projects needed our limited time and attention. Featuring China Forbes, Ari Shapiro, and Ida Rae Cahana as vocalists, each musician was tasked with recording their video and audio in natural spaces they could reach. This stunning video is the result and we hope it brings you a little joy today.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
O God, guard my tongue from evil
And my lips from speaking falsehoods
And to those who curse me - may my soul be silent
And my soul shall be as dust, as earth before and for everyone
O God, open my heart to Your Torah
May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart
Be acceptable before You, My God, my Rock and my Redeemer
