An absolutely stunning setting of the reverent Israeli folk song which translates: "Help us to return to you, God, then truly we will return. Make new our days as in the past". A soloist or unison choir initially states the melody followed by beautiful homophonic writing which frames the next section performed in a round. A contemplative, gorgeous ending of "amens" concludes this moving work about hope for the future and restoring faith. It is equally appropriate for concert or church use, and a pronunciation guide and translation are included for the Hebrew text.
