By Rabbi Miriam Margles, commissioned by T’ruah
Text from Psalm 89, verses 16, 15
Soloists: Brad Davidorf, Gayanne Geurin
This song was commissioned by the organization T’ruah: The Rabbinic Call for Human Rights, which takes its name from the High Holy Day shofar blast intended to grab our attention and wake us up—to justice and injustice, some might say. At CBH, “Ashrei Ha’Am” has become an electrifying Rosh Hashanah staple.
It is awakening, moving, and thought/action provoking. Thank you for holding out the messages in these melodies. The album is guided my awareness towards a deep way of living. ctrammell2020
This work is a reflection of the considerate loving kindness of the composers.
I was fortunate to have been a choir student of Rebekka Goldsmith.

It is rich in women's energy, deeply felt sounds of womb energy. A beautiful expression of the best of women in the Jewish hera-tage! Chana Raskin moves my soul, an Irish soul have I! Morgana Morgaine mollymaven
