15 Epic Yomim Norayim Songs You Must Listen To

By Sruly Meyer for COLlive.com

As we approach these holy days of Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur, we will be davening with full hearts. The words in the Machzor are precious and we use them to ask Hashem to give us mercy, and as we stand before him the Chazzan will sing the Tefilos in a voice that will call us to action.

Aside from these famous tunes we sing in shul, there are also many classic and recent songs that use these words with much heart and soul. We did some research and reached out to get the pulse from several music aficionados. What were their favorite Jewish music songs from Yomim Norayim.

As usual, we try to bring a diverse array of songs. It was quite difficult, many people we reached out to gave us many, many MBD and Fried songs. You will also find from Shlomo Simcha, London School, Dedi and more!
