Sanctity & artistry, to perfection. May I humbly suggest version two of the same, that can not replace but gives an added optional experience: the last time, the high part to be intensified in terms of projection, instrumentation, strains of yearning harmonies & all. IMHO each experience has its own place in tbe soul. WOW!!!! to each of you!!!
I do not understand a word in Hebrew but I can connect so well with this song because music is universal and I work with one of the sons of sir rabbi and he is the kindest and the most soulful person I have ever known
The unadulterated pleasure of hearing Rabbi Portnoy singing this song again, more poignant because it is with his sons, reminds me of what we missed for all the years he stepped away from music. Thank you.
The first time I heard Joel Portnoy was on speaker phone when he was speaking and singing snippets of songs to his friend, our conductor, Meir as he drove us to shul for rehearsal in Toronto over the high holidays this year. After asking about the voice on the phone, this is the first video of the Portnoy Brothers that I watched. So beautiful, peaceful, and soulful. Any shul would be blessed to have one of the Portnoys as cantor. Chag Sameach! 🕎
Been playing this piece over and over again. Soothinge in Miami. and beautifully sung, the love between sons and their father is clearly apparent. Would love to see them her
Lyrics Etz chayim hi la-ma-cha-zi-kim bah, V'tom-che-ha m'ushar. D'ra-che-ha dar-chei no-am, V'chol n'ti-vo-te-ha sha-lom. Ha-shi-vei-nu Adonai ei-le-cha v'na-shu-vah, Cha-desh ya-mei-nu k'ke-dem. It is a tree of life for those who hold fast to it, And those who uphold it are happy. Its ways are ways of pleasantness, And all its paths are peace. Return us to You, Lord, and we shall return; Renew our days as of old.
This is beautiful relaxing , confirming this moment. Hashem is great .
Hashem te bendiga por toda la eternidad, guarde tus pasos, y te proteja, BENDITO REY DE LA CREACION.
This tune is technically what the English call, if appropriate for such a gentle and sweet song, a proper banger. Kol hakhavod and good work
What a treasure
Etz chayim hi la-ma-cha-zi-kim bah,
V'tom-che-ha m'ushar.
D'ra-che-ha dar-chei no-am,
V'chol n'ti-vo-te-ha sha-lom.
Ha-shi-vei-nu Adonai ei-le-cha v'na-shu-vah,
Cha-desh ya-mei-nu k'ke-dem.

God bless the nation of Israel and the courageous men and women of the IDF.
A gorgeous rendition of Etz Chaim coupled with the palpable love between the sons and father...Wonderful.
My Sister in Adonai shared your song with me. Absolutely lovely! Thank you. Abba Bless you! ⚘️

He is singing Proverbs 3:18, 3:17 and lastly Lamentations 5:21
"Eitz Chayim He"- She is a tree of life"
the love and kedushah throughout this- uplift me so much. Thank you!!! Thank you!!!
Very beautifully presented and musically in depth of sacred excellence-- harmonically great yasher koach

Absolutely beautiful!
Absolutely beautiful! Thanks for sharing 😊
Beautiful singing in a beautiful shul
I remember Joel from many years ago
Heavenly voices, the song is so touching and inspiring.
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful Music of the Soul.
So moving, this touches my heart.
classic. this beauty was on a record back in the 70s . r shlomo carlebach was a guest singer on that album
This is just magnificent. So profoundly moving. I love seeing and hearing your father and Mendy playing your father's accordion. Sandie
So, so beautiful!
I believe Joel Portnoy was the boy with the great voice who held that one note on Yekum Purkan for about ten minutes straight without taking a breath!
yes he did. I also sang on that record, ' Borchi nafshi' and I remember being then amazed.
Beautiful: thank you!
Muy bello Bendiciones

@Lenny Samuel you took the words out of my mouth. This song was composed by Tanchum and I was wondering the same.
Woops, I wrote this before seeing the end of video, sorry.
