Description
My friend sent me a rendition of this traditional song for the opening of the Jewish celebration of Yom Kippur that is called Kol Nidre. From his email to me he said, "here is the music of the main theme, done with haunting expression, slowly and with great passion. Basically, this is God's statement of forgiveness for all vows made during the year, and makes them null and void, forgotten. Creating a new slate for the coming year."
I found the translation online and the words for the music are these...
All vows, and things we have made forbidden on ourselves,
and oaths, and items we have consecrated to the Temple,
and vows issued with the expression “konum,”
and vows which are abbreviated,
and vows issued with the expression “kanos,”
that we have vowed, and sworn, and dedicated,
and made forbidden upon ourselves;
from this Yom Kippur
until next Yom Kippur—
may it come to us at a good time—
