Yom Kippur 5772-El Norah Alilah
May those who are observing Yom Kippur have a meaningful fast and holiday. Below is a recording of the piyyut El Norah Alilah (אל נורא עלילה) that is sung at the Neilah service that ends Yom Kippur. For no one who has ever prayed in synagogue that followed one of the Sephardic customs, this is an example of the more joyous tunes that are used. This is in addition to the difference in the choice of piyyutim that are recited. The second and third videos are the full-band version. The last video is a live version by Meir Banai.
