YIDDISHE OUTPOURINGS (V)
– Hey Got in Himl, FYI, It's Not Pretty Down Here Right Now

I heard chanted in my synagogue on Rosh Hashanah four prayers by Levi Yitzchak, the Berdichever Rebbe, (1740 – 1809). Stunned by their stirring words and melodies, I wove four tapestries; the series is named after one of the songs whose title states we are putting God on trial.
