Thank You CD’s
These CD’s will not be offered for sale; rather, they were designed as a “Thank You” to KBY supporters. We wanted to share a part of the progressive Jewish experience in Jerusalem with people who care about Israel and support our congregations. You can obtain a CD by making a donation of $36 or more to any KBY congregation or project. Click on any of the CD’s below for more information.

Avinu Malkeinu CD: High Holy Day Prayers from JerusalemThis project is a joint effort by KBY and Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, Jerusalem Campus. The selections for the CD are music sung during Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur services at HUC-JIR in Jerusalem. The innovative use of the High Holiday Choir, as a collection of soloists backing-up both the Cantor and each other, gave us the original inspiration. The feelings, at High Holiday services and when listening to this CD, are of engaged personal prayer that reaches upward and connects. |
