This came across my Facebook feed yesterday, so I’m sharing it with you. “Ein Keloheinu” is a Hebrew prayer. The title translates to “There is none like our God” (I’m told) and is typically chanted at the end of Shabbat morning services.
I do not know what the usual melody is for this, but last week Cantor Azi Schwartz at Park Avenue Synagogue recast it to Harry Belafonte’s “Banana Boat
Song”, in tribute to the iconic singer/actor/human rights activist who died last
month at age 96. This is absolute gold.
May his memory be a blessing.
