HINENI | Cantor Benny Rogosnitzky in the Studio

The opening prayer for the cantor on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. It's the cantor's plea to G-d to stand by his side and guide him as he is about to take the prayers of the congregation and bring them before G-d's almighty throne.

The words are stirring, as they are self-reflective about the cantor's unworthiness to stand before G-d and beseeching G-d not to hold it against the congregation any of the cantor's own misdeeds and failings. The piece reaches a crescendo with the prayer of the cantor to G-d to eradicate the power of the satan so that he may not interfere with his prayers.

Finally, the prayer ends with thanking G-d, who is the ultimate receiver of prayer. The music of the piece is traditional, but borrows from the melody as written by the great Cantor Yossele Rosenblatt.
