16 Female Cantors From Around the World Sing "Jerusalem of Gold"


In honor of Jerusalem’s 53rd reunification anniversary this week, 16 female cantors from around the world united to sing Yerushalayim Shel Zahav (Jerusalem of Gold).

  1. I could watch this video over and over again. I have heard the female
    cantor at B'Nai Torah in Boca Raton. Although I am a little disappointed
    that there is no Canadian cantor represented.
