Nigun “Ki Hinei Kachomer” with a Folksy Twist: A chassidic melody for Yom Kippur

The words of the nigun Ki Hinei Kachomer are from the Yom Kippur evening prayers: “As metal in the hands of the craftsman, so too we are in Your hands.” Yosef Peysin and Mordy Kurtz of Rogers Park Band perform this traditional Chassidic tune with a fresh modern sound (Laura Melnicoff, cello; Atara Wolf, cinematography).
Yom Kippur, Ki Hinei Kachomer

Lyrics:
Transliteration:

Ki Hinei Kachomer Beyad Hayotzeir, Birtzoso Marchiv Uvirtzoso Mekatzer, Kein Anachnu Beyodcho Chessed Notzeir, Labris Habet Veal Teifen Layeitzer.
Ki Hinei Koeven Beyad Hamesates, Birtzoso Ochez Uvirtzoso Mechates, Kein Anachnu Beyodcho Mechayeh Umemoseis, Labris Habet Veal Teifen Layeitzer.

Translation:

Indeed, as the clay in the hand of the potter, who, when he wishes expands it and when he wishes contracts it; so are we in Your hand, O You who remembers deeds of the loving kindness; Look to the covenant and do not regard our evil inclination.
Indeed, as the stone in the hand of the mason, who, when he wishes retains it and when he wishes smashes it; so are we in Your hand, O You who gives life and brings death; Look to the covenant and do not regard our evil inclination. Reply

Beautiful rendition. Listening to it over and over. I think the cellist is the wife of a Tiferes alumnus so we're extra proud. Reply
