Home > We Are Your People Project

And yet, this year, there is no safe way for all the members of our community to sing together in person. So we are going to try something we have never done before!

We present to you the WE ARE YOUR PEOPLE / Ki Anu Amecha Project

We hope that you will take part in creating a virtual tefilah recording, so when we join together online during the High Holidays, from wherever we find ourselves,  we will still be able to see and hear each other sing with a full heart, and join with a full voice.

We ask you to record a video of yourself (or your whole family!) singing one of our beloved High Holiday melodies, Ki Anu Amecha, from the comfort and safety of your own home. You’ll be singing along with Natasha’s voice on the guide track.

(You’ll notice that the guide track has a piano accompaniment. That is just to help us stay together during the recording process; it won’t be heard on the final video).

Important Deadlines

If you have any questions or concerns, please write to us at WeAreYourPeople@anschechesed.org. Remember, you DON’T need to be a professional singer.  We just want to see your face and hear your voice, smooth or crackly, in tune or close to tune. Thank you for considering this invitation – we truly hope that you’ll join in!

This project should not take too much of your time, but it will make an enormous difference for our entire community, enabling us to bring our hearts and our voices together for this most unusual high holiday season, when we need each other more than ever. We may not be able to safely sing together in the same room.  But we can still sing as one community, one people, one nation – Ki Anu Amecha!

With love and blessings for a healthy summer,

Natasha and Daniella
