This is an incredible version of one of my favorite traditional Jewish songs, "Mi HaIsh."
Yet it is being played in the most non-traditional way... by taking the most traditional Jewish instrument - a shofar - and playing it like an actual musical instrument and not just a horn like we hear on Rosh HaShana. Who knew it could make beautiful music?
The song is a musical adaptation of 3 lines from the Chapter 34 of the Book of Psalms:
13 - Who is the man who desires life, who loves days to see good therein?
14 - Guard your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceitfully.
15 - Shun evil and do good, seek peace and pursue it.
יגמִֽי־הָ֖אִישׁ הֶֽחָפֵ֣ץ חַיִּ֑ים אֹ֘הֵ֥ב יָ֜מִ֗ים לִרְא֥וֹת טֽוֹב:
.ידנְצֹ֣ר לְשֽׁוֹנְךָ֣ מֵרָ֑ע וּ֜שְׂפָתֶ֗יךָ מִדַּבֵּ֥ר מִרְמָֽה:
טוס֣וּר מֵ֖רָע וַֽעֲשֵׂה־ט֑וֹב בַּקֵּ֖שׁ שָׁל֣וֹם וְרָדְפֵֽהוּ:פֵֽהוּ:דְפֵֽהוּ:דְפֵֽהוּ:
