Avinu Malkeinu

Avinu Malkeinu is considered by many to be the pinnacle of the Yom Kippur service. It’s definitely one of my favorite moments of the day. The ark is still open and will soon close. As the service is reaching its end, one begins to feel the gates of heaven closing. The emotions that have been built up throughout the day are expressed and culminated by the entire congregation singing a traditional tune together. It is in that very moment that we also want to give expression to a new setting of an ancient prayer, which introduces a fresh perspective on looking at the day. This new composition is by one of my dearest mentors, Cantor Meir Finkelstein.

It is an important reminder of how we cherish the past, and allow it to help shape our focus for the days ahead. The old and the new, side by side, representing our ever evolving tradition, and perhaps ourselves, blessed by renewed energy year after year.

May your prayers be answered and may you have a good, sweet and healthy year.

Brings back memories of being in Shul when I was a child and lived in Johannesburg.

I so love this version. I do not like the revised version that crept in during the 70s and 80s. I love the traditional melody

Avinu Malkeinu Padre nuestro, Rey nuestro
janenu va'aneinu agrácianos y respóndenos
ki ein banu ma'asim porque no tenemos obras
ase imanu tsedaka vajesed haz con nosotros misericordia y bondad
vehosh'ienu y sálvanos
