Every year in the month of Elul, Jerusalem comes alive with a symphony of sounds. Each community has a representative in the city, and during this period, poems of forgiveness echo from the windows of synagogues. The footsteps of passers-by heading to the Western Wall or returning home from prayer add to the pleasantness of the Tishrei holidays, enveloping Jerusalem in a unique and spiritual atmosphere.

Join me on a new and exciting Musical Selichot Tour, where we will explore the Old City and its surroundings. We’ll delve into the traditions of the Days of Awe, listen to the voices emanating from the houses of prayer, and visit various synagogues in the Jewish Quarter. Together, we’ll sing Selichot poems and Jerusalem songs, immersing ourselves in the special ambiance that surrounds the city.

Experience this one-of-a-kind Selichot tour with me, accompanied by my guitar, as we navigate the historic alleys and the less ancient paths of Jerusalem. Join me for an unforgettable journey through the heart of this sacred city.
