Sinai Tor

About Sinai Tor

Sinai Tor is a singer on Lehallel — the filtered YouTube platform. 129+ of his recordings can be watched here, with no ads and no comments.

Sinai Tor sings in Hebrew, and his songs are prayers set to music: lines from Tehillim and the siddur, and words of longing for closeness to Hashem. "Karev Yom" asks Hashem to bring near the day; "Darashti Kirvatcha" - I sought Your closeness - is the cry of the heart from the piyyut; "Barchi Nafshi" opens the psalm of creation, "BeTzeis Yisrael" the psalm of the going out from Egypt, "Tikon Tefillati" asks that a prayer stand before Hashem like incense, and "Va'ani BeRov Chasdecha" enters the house of prayer on Hashem's kindness.

Many of his songs carry a thought from the Torah of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov, whom his own titles name: "Leis Asar Panuy Minei" - no place is empty of Him; "LeShem Yichud", for the sake of the unity of Hashem; "Pishpesh", a call to search one's deeds; "Tzad Yakar Banu", the precious side inside every person; and "Ayeh", where are You, sung together with a prayer. "Refa Na La" is Moshe Rabbeinu's prayer for healing, the shortest prayer in the Torah.

Beside them stand the songs of a life: "Abba Kazeh" about a father, "Anashim Yeladim", "Boker Tov", "Chaim", "Ga'agu'im" - longing - "Ken Tzippor" about a bird's nest, "Tal Chermon", "Oleh Min HaYam", "Shivrei HaAdamah", "HaKfirim", "Eretz Yehudah" for the land, and "Kol HaOlam Bamah" - all the world is a stage - which he sings as a song for the redemption. "Tov Kmo Achshav" holds on to the good of this very moment, and "Simcha Gedolah" is pure joy.

He sings with friends: "MiMa'amakim" - from the depths - with Beni Landau, "LaChutz LaPnim" with Uri Brinker as his guest, and "Halleluyah" with Tzvi Yechezkeli. On stage he sings "Parasti Yadai" and "Elech Li Et HaDerech" live at the Lev HaDevarim center, and his channel shares the joy of the weddings he plays: the highlights, a wedding at Khan Merchav, and the moment the bride's brother comes up on stage.

His shorter clips tell where the songs travel: concerts in Tzfat, at Chavat Gilad and in Givat Arnon, a niggun of Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach for each stanza of Lecha Dodi, and the journeys he leads with Meital Tor to the resting places of Rabbi Nachman and the Baal Shem Tov. Every song on this page opens on its own page, with no ads and no comments around it.
