“Hear O Israel” - International Cantorial Concert

In the presence of Chief Rabbi Israel Meir Lau and a 2,000-strong audience, an International Cantorial Concert was held on 9 June in the Warsaw Ghetto Square, as part of Yad Vashem’s Jubilee events. During the concert, the works of the greatest Jewish composers and cantors—some of whom perished in the Holocaust—were performed for the first time by the world’s leading cantors: Shimon Farkas, Yitzhak Meir Helfgot, Benzion Miller, Ya’akov Motzen and Israel Rand. They were accompanied by the Yuval Cantorial Ensemble and Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Dr. Mordechai Sobol.
