One of Yeshiva University’s 2022 graduation day events featured Ribo in concert; “the audience was visibly moved by the poignant music, responding to Ribo’s distinct ability to distill the poetry and holiness of Judaism into song,” as described by a University press release, replete with photos of the event.
Music has the power to transport words beyond the intellect and infuse them with emotion, a key to opening hearts and souls in prayer. The shofar blasts on Rosh Hashanah are wordless cries, visceral primordial forces which evoke fear and trembling. Imagine a High Holy service punctuated by the call of the shofar in the Nathan Lamport auditorium in Yeshiva’s Main Building (now Zysman Hall), an awe-inspiring space for prayer during the Days of Awe.
