Artist: Various Title: The Kol Nidrei Prayer - In The Tradition Of The Communities Of Israel Category: Cantorial-Sephardic Cantorial - High Hol

Order #: 01005 This wonderful CD contains 17 different versions of the "Kol Nidrei" from various communities in Israel. From The Booklet: The Kol Nidrei prayer belongs to the period preceding the Geonim and Rabbis of Seborae (Sura?), and for a variety of reasons they instituted the custom of annulment of vows during the Days of Awe until the text was included in the Yom Kippur prayer book. The text of the declaration "B'Yeshiva Shel Maala" etc. was amended in the days of the forced converts (Anusim) in Spain. Many Anusim risked their lives by attending synagogue services on the night of Yom Kippur, and since they were regarded as being transgressors, the text was amended to read "We permit prayer with the transgressor".
