My favourite prayer tune

[@LaceyGrim]

Great voice ❤

[@mandersen831]

That was extremely moving, thank you for posting this!

[@jimdepasquale6879]

I love this!!

[@artisttobin]

this really helped with my Bat Mitzvah training! thanks!(:

[@steviehottman6239]

Finally! I was able to find the version we sing during Kabbalat services!

[@PatMyers]

Glad it's helpful! Let us know if there are any other prayers you'd like us to post. Just leave a comment and we'll see it.

[@steviehottman6239]

I tend to find the prayers, just not the melodies. I will have to ask my Cantor.

[@steviehottman6239]

Pat Myers I've learned that I have to add "reform" to my search keywords, so if you could include that in the descriptions or the titles, it might be easier for people to find.

[@matthewloyferman9711]

Me too!

[@Rock_Messie7]

I wish if I am jew like jesus

[@mayasilber3682]

Same

[@PatMyers]

Great -- good luck! Are there any other prayers you'd like Valerie to do on video?

[@lizard6072]

nice

[@jonlevinson4300]

This is not from a Shabbat Shacharit service, as the shliach tzibbur is using the Reform machzor, Gates of Repentance

[@PatMyers]

True.

[@PatMyers]

True; it's a Friday evening service.

[@jimdepasquale6879]

I am pretty sure this is Friday night Maariv since you can clearly see the two lit candles at the bottom of the screen.

[@johnneustadt]

This is the only version with a really good chorus also is she having her bat mitzvah

[@PatMyers]

No, this was some years later. But she did sing throughout her bat mitzvah.

[@johnneustadt]

Pat Myers well I know that I just thought she was transferring

[@Iskandar613]

Silly
