Hallelu El b’kodsho,
Halleluhu birkia uzo.
Halleluhu vig’vurotav,
Halleluhu k’rov gudlo.
Halleluhu b’teika shofar,
Halleluhu b’nevel v’khinor.
Halleluhu b’tof u-mahol,
Halleluhu b’minim v’ugav.
Halleluhu b’tziltz’lei shama,
Halleluhu b’tziltz’lei tru’ah.
Kol ha-n’shamah t’hallel Yah – Halleluyah!

Praise God in the sanctuary;
praise God in the powerful heavens.
Praise God for the mighty acts;
praise God for infinite greatness.
Praise God with shofar calls;
praise God with harp and lyre.
Praise God with drum and dance;
praise God with flute and strings.
Praise God with crashing cymbals;
praise God with resounding cymbals.
Let all that breathes praise Adonai –
Halleluyah!

[Psalm 150]

When you listen to a song over and over again but it still brings tears to your eyes even after 100 Times, then you know this is a masterpiece

A fitting tribute to one of the greatest - who happened to be Jewish. Was trepidation before opening but you sang it beautifully and the pictures of
the great Leonard. Cohen were inserted tastefully. Alice in Tel Aviv. Whoever read this. - stay safe

As a very lightly observant jew, Azi you touch me in a "Jewish" way that I never thought was possible.  My eyes fill with tears every time I hear you sing.  Thank you for bringing that out in me!  Love you!
