‘Keep Open the Gates’ performed by Rob & Julie Aronson, written by Eliana Light – Jewish Rock Radio Song of the Week
Yom Kippur is a holiday filled with SO much meaning. For many people, the closing “Ne’ilah” service of Yom Kippur is one of the highlights — the energy is intense and passionate as we pray up until the final moments before sundown, with imagery showing us trying to get our prayers into heaven before the gates close. In the liturgy, we sing to “keep open the gates,” and my dear friend Eliana Light set these words to beautiful music as a way to lead us into the “Ne’ilah” service. And it’s even more beautiful being sung by two of my favorite St. Louisans, Rob and Julie Aronson! G’mar Tov! May you be sealed for a sweet New Year! -Rick Recht
