The Sound of the Circle - A Musical Offering for 5774

As the New Year approaches, enjoy this video of Israeli singer Avraham Tal singing Kol Galgal, a song which invites contemplation of the connection between our voices, the sound of the Shofar, and the continuity of life.  

"The sound of a circle rolls upwards from below, hidden chariots revolving. The sound of melodies rises and falls; it goes wandering in the world. The voice of a Shofar extends through the depths and the circle spins around. That's the sound, the sound of a circle rising and falling."

  1. Nice song, but what about the pictures: are they of Israel or the Occupied Territories of Palestine? Mostly wasteland, so wonder if this is land to be stolen from the Palestinians or already within the Green Line, like the Negev or near the Dead Sea.
