Wishing a tzom kal ("easy fast") to all Forum members observing Yom Kippur and wishing "Gemar hatimah tovah!" -- "May you be sealed for a good year!"
-- to ALL!
I wanted to share a couple of simple Yom Kippur "piyyutim" (hymns) which I wrote out several years ago.
"Adon HaSlihot" ("L-rd of Forgiveness") is a very famous hymn, with this particuarly melody probably originally from North Africa, but also well-known
among all Jews with roots in the Arab and Muslim world.
"Yedei Rashim" is slightly less well-known. The melody I wrote out is one version as sung in Morocco. I have heard rumors that the melody may be
borrowed from a song by Mohammed Abdul Wahhab.
Both hymns are interesting to me in the way they change maqam between the verse and chorus.
