There are moments when sounds are much more than music – they whisper prayers, hum longings, and convey feelings that are indescribable in words. Such was the feeling at the wedding ceremony that I was fortunate to attend when Elior Itzkovitz Cohen stood to sing the Blessing of the Priests.

The ancient words blended with his clear and warm voice, and it seemed as if the heavens themselves were listening.
