	/

Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

This is Die Drei Kantoren’s second CD, consisting of Chazzanut, Yiddish and Chasidic melodies, Israeli songs, and Sepharadic piyutim – all in original arrangements. We are happy to feature some wonderful guest artists who made this second album even richer in sound and inspiration. Two of the pieces in this album – Pitchu Li and Elu Dvarim – were composed especially for us by our very own Ido Ben-Gal and Assaf Levitin. Our dozens of concerts in Jewish communities and in festivals in Germany and abroad motivated us to get back into the recording studio as quickly as possible. For this we are very thankful.

lyrics

For Your Name signifies Your praise:
Hard to anger and easy to appease.
For You do not wish the death of one deserving death,
But that he repent from his way and live.
Until the day of his death You await him,
If he repents You will accept him immediately.
It is true that You are their Creator
And You know their inclination
For they are flesh and blood.
A man's origin is from dust
And his destiny is back to dust,
At risk of his life he earns his bread,
He is likened to a broken shard,
Withering grass, a fading flower,
A passing shade, a dissipating cloud,
A blowing wind, flying dust,
And a fleeting dream.

כִּי כְּשִׁמְךָ כֵּן תְּהִלָּתֶךָ:
קָשֶׁה לִכְעֹס וְנוֹחַ לִרְצוֹת.
כִּי לא תַחְפֹּץ בְּמוֹת הַמֵּת,
כִּי אִם בְּשׁוּבו מִדַּרְכּוֹ וְחָיָה.
וְעַד יוֹם מוֹתוֹ תְּחַכֶּה לוֹ,
אִם יָשׁוּב מִיַָד תְּקַבְּלוֹ.
אֱמֶת כִּי אַתָּה הוּא יוֹצְרָם
וְאַתָּה יוֹדֵעַ יִצְרָם
כִּי הֵם בָּשָׂר וָדָם.
אָדָם יְסוֹדוֹ מֵעָפָר
וְסוֹפוֹ לֶעָפָר,
בְּנַפְשׁוֹ יָבִיא לַחְמוֹ,
מָשׁוּל כְּחֶרֶס הַנִּשְׁבָּר,
כְּחָצִיר יָבֵשׁ וּכְצִיץ נוֹבֵל,
כְּצֵל עוֹבֵר וּכְעָנָן כָּלָה,
וּכְרוּחַ נוֹשָׁבֶת וּכְאָבָק פּוֹרֵחַ,
וְכַחֲלום יָעוּף.
