Rosh Hashana Countdown #3

This one just came out. It's the same place that produced #8 on the countdown. I never knew these guys had so much fun in their yeshivot (study houses). Love this one.

Rosh Hashana Countdown #5

Tekiyah is the call to listen to the blowing of the shofar (ram's horn) on Rosh Hashana.

Wake up Don't you hear it calling you Arise and live your life anew Tekiyah
Wake up See the flaws inside your soul Nurture them till you are whole Tekiyah
This is the calling This is the time to make things right This is the warning With the day of judgement now in sight
Wake up Purge the grudges from your heart Try to make a brand new start Tekiyah
Wake up Give the world all you can give Love each moment that you live Tekiyah
This is the warning This is the time to make things right This is the calling With the day of judgement now in sight
Wake up Take the time to make amends Open up and start again Tekiyah
Wake up From your sorrow you are torn On this day you are reborn Tekiyah
This is the calling This is the time to make things right This is the warning With the day of judgement now in sight

Rosh Hashana Countdown #10

Last year in the weeks leading up to Rosh Hashana (Jewish New Year) I posted this great song by The Fountainheads and explained all the symbolism in it and what it meant to me. I still love that song the best out of all the Rosh Hashana songs.

This year there are so many funky music videos for Rosh Hashana I thought I'd do a Rosh Hashana Countdown. There are 10 days to go so I'll feature a song a day for the duration.

Number 10 (although they are in no particular order) is a tribute to Israeli technology and features robotic dancing from The Technion (University) in Haifa. There are no special effects here, it is all 100% Israeli robotic genius.

Enjoy and Shana Tova (Happy New Year)!
