The exact origin of the Kol Nidre melody is a bit of a mystery… 

It's been claimed that the melody's roots can be found in German medieval folk music. Others have rejected this idea, arguing that it is clearly of Jewish origin.

There is, in fact, not just one Kol Nidre melody, but a collection of musical themes which came together and settled in a permanent order at some point during the 15th or 16th centuries. 

The combination of the religious setting, the emotional backdrop, and the powerful melody creates a unique psychological atmosphere among those gathered to hear the prayer on Yom Kippur. 

Much of this has to do with the ability of music to reach into the soul, even if the listener cannot understand the words. A few notes are often enough to trigger intense feelings and bring back old memories.

Over the centuries, the Kol Nidre melody has inspired countless musicians and artists, from classical composers to filmmakers to psychedelic rock bands.

Actually, you can say "Happy Yom Kippur" but only if you're Jewish and being ironic and self-aware.

Enjoy Lol Nidre tonight, gang!

When I saw it in the theater this week I noticed this great concatenation of visuals while Vincent and Max are en route to Fever. Vincent brings up his father, recounting these fragments of childhood memory, and through the window behind him you suddenly see the landscape spring up in lights. The shots of him talking are aligned such that the tone he takes — opening up, vs closing himself off — are paired, respectively, with the cab passing by expanses of lighting and concrete structures that block them. Then, through the window, we see him contemplate an illuminated cross as they pass a church. A sole passenger jet ferrying travelers through the night. Then the coyotes skulking across an alien landscape, the neon urban wilderness that has paved over their dominion. Cue "Shadow on the Sun."

Mann was evasive when asked why he chose the song, but it bookends these images, the recollection of a dead relative amidst points of light, a house of worship, and bodies in motion/migration:

Every drop of flame Lights a candle in Memory of the one Who lived inside my skin

#it's just like the jazz singer! except instead of singing kol nidre in your father's stead you can also wind up loving jazz & doing violence #also SUPPORTING LABOR UNIONS! lmao #collateral 2004

shivers in a feverish state. Fitz and Biana divine imagery thoughts are sickening my breath and poisoning my bloodstream

#summer rambles #god.god. hang on. wait. god #all through kol nidre services this is what i was thinking about btw

[femmchantress]

Me, joking: (Husband)!!! Are you making yourself a PB&J? On Erev Yom Kippur? That’s not very repentant of you.

My husband, who isn’t Jewish: That’s my secret. I avoid Yom Kippur entirely by making the deeply strategic decision of not being a Jew.

#we are on our way to the Kol Nidre service and they needed a snack #they are a very good husband

The man singing is likely the first recorded cantor and also happened to have been my great-great-grandmother's brother. So my. Great-great-great-uncle?

Anyway it's very cool to hear my ancestor's voice, recorded well over 100 years ago.

#actually he died 100 years ago this year huh #i know i post this nearly every year but it's just fucking cool to me #also if you're unfamiliar with kol nidre you should listen just for the vibes #jumblr #yom kippur #Spotify

G'mar chatima tova everyone.

I hope you find this Yom Kippur meaningful however you are observing it.

#i still dont know what im doing and it starts in like 2 hours 😶 #i want to go to kol nidre but #covid cases are so high here right now and most people at my shul aren't masking #and I'm seeing my 90 year old grandma this weekend #so i REALLY dont want to risk exposing her to anything #😭 #i think ill just have a quiet and contemplative day by myself #can't even do a traditional fast

#man i don’t want to make fun of them in a petty way or anything because they don’t deserve that #or at least i’m above it #so this is more about my feelings #but some people told me about a speech they made at kol nidre about how they’re trying to be less controlling #and it filled me with so much anger because #wish you would have figured that out 2 years ago #:/ #the way they will say things that recognize their actions and then not fix them #…

[fructidors]

i'm not like the other emily dickinson fans i go to synagogue in her church

#this is a real and true fact about me and i think that is very cool #i was there just today for services & i'm going to kol nidre there this week #it has big stained glass windows that say “in memory of a. dickinson and family” and everything #this miiiight be doxxing myself just a little but it's not actually in my town
