In a rare display of Shira’s pure vocal prowess unadulterated by instrumentalization, this acapella performance of Ana Bekoach is the ultimate treatment for the ears during the days of Sefirah.

The tune originates from the generational courtyard of Dzikov, the glorious Chassidic dynasty in Galicia. Performed live in ask-and-answer format between the Shira Choir and star soloist Zanvil Weinberger from Israel, the song takes the listener through three changes of pace that pay homage to this deeply inspiring composition.

As we all recite these lyrics in their original form daily throughout Sefirah, now is the perfect time to pay attention to the words and be uplifted by their beautiful meaning.
