hi we're here on the Temple Mount today
with a very special guest Israeli singer
and songwriter yair Levy yair is
descended from the Levites those who
served as the priests in the temple and
saying every day in the temple choir
yair's music uses to hilum or the Psalms
of David to create beautiful music for
all Israelis and people all around the
world to enjoy the year is inspired by
finding the ancient maladies of the
temple so that we can ReDiscover what it
may have sounded like when we visited
the temple and prayed today we're going
to travel all around the Temple mount
with yair and he's going to tell us why
he uses music to celebrate the Mitzvah
of Ascension with the world come on
let's go
singer songwriter from Israel Israeli
and actually I'm right here in the
mosque in the holiest place in the world
after 2000 years we I'm still so honored
to work in this uh pad that my grand
grandfathers could only dream
as the liver is even much more special
because my grand grandfather is my
forefathers were standing here on the
Temple Mount and was thinking in the
temple there was a stairs with a with a
bench big bench the big band was Israeli
people more than 40 liver that was
singing I don't know exactly how it was
but I can imagine that it was like an
amazing harmonies
and my forefather was standing here for
two reasons first is for the people that
was going up to the Temple Mount second
what they was doing that this is not a
lot of people know
there was part of the sacrified ceremony
the kohen the priest couldn't sacrifice
without the Levi singing
so
the singing of the levite was something
very special and without a levite some
of the ceremonies couldn't
uh business this is exactly the place
where delivered was standing
um this is amazing for me to be here
I don't think that they have enough
words for this at all
it's amazing
as a Jews we believe that we are coming
here to serve to serve to serve the Jews
to serve the Nations to serve the entire
world it's not that we are one to build
a temple for the Jewish people it's not
a purpose and this is why it's called
House of Prayer for all nations
I always remember that if I will get the
call because my business and to just
stand here to sing I'm ready even if it
will happen today and this is when I'm
walking here and asking myself like are
you gonna do it you're gonna cancel all
your concept and everything and all your
plans and just stand here and sing yeah
and this is the this is the answer I'm
going up to the mountain for more than
15 years I think
and it's amazing see how it's grow every
time every year
how more and more people coming up to
the mountain and this is so uh moving I
see all those people that coming up
praying praying for peace this is what
we're praying actually and how it's grow
how the movement
of the movement of the Temple Mount
going up to the mountain is growing grow
the big mistake that we are doing a lot
we are singing
if I forget you oh Jerusalem made my may
my right hand forget this sounds is
about the music
we think it's about about the temple
itself but actually it's a it's one of
the most famous songs that talk about
the music the Levi's they don't want to
sing the song from the temple outside of
Israel and I can I can understand it I
want to sing the song of of the temple
my dream is to fulfill the dream of
those Levites in Babylon that say we
want to sing the song of the Lord
I'm working a lot of finding
those ancient melodies
and I find it very hard to find because
that the people of Israel took it so
hard the destruction of the Temple
they stop singing those melodies
and those Melodies have secrets that
could heal and could have the Quran the
priest to sacrifice and one of my
purpose in my life is to find those
Melodies we we have tradition that some
of those Melodies came from Mount Sinai
so I found some of very ancient Melodies
In Yaman and in Tunisia
and I'm trying to collect more and more
Melodies that I know that for sure there
are more than 1 000 years old and then
it means that maybe there was a melodies
of King David one of them is goes like
this
this sounds 96. for me as a musician as
a singer to find those Melodies this is
like something that can be kind of
kind of a miracle for me I invited
everybody to come of course to make me
before and to come into Ava
but to go up it's so important it's not
my dream it's a dream of all the Jews
all over the world and actually all the
nations
to rebuild the Temple this is what we
pray every day a couple of times
you'll leave the choir
if this is what I need to do
