Cast Me Not Away (Al Tashlicheni/Yimale Fi)

These two weeks are the modern “Israeli High Holidays”, including Yom HaShoah, Yom HaZikaron, and Yom HaAtzmaut, and so we bring you a song from one of Israel’s most renowned composers. This song bridges Yemeni musical heritage with a western sound world, an Eastern melody with orchestral accompaniment. The song also resounds through the generations: My grandmother taught me the meaning of this prayer, which I now sing with my son, whose Bar Mitzvah I look forward to this Spring. Wishing you a Shabbat Shalom and happy Yom HaAtzmaut Music by Avihu Medina, orchestrated by Oran Eldor Music Director: David Enlow AV: Oscar Acevedo, Terrell Simms, Erik van Batavia, Justin Goodman Video Editor: Tami Shaham www.azischwartz.com
