A response to Mira’s latest essay. Kjersti joins the collaboration again for the first time in a while.

    Okay, you made me cry. First of course at how many mistakes I made in reciting my Kaddish. Second at the honor of Kjersti Energy Child joining us. And third, of course, with that beautiful דודי לי which I did not expect. Nice and slow, the way Malkah would like it, mending the heartbreaks of the world. A kaddish for Malkah’s occultation, indeed. Thank you, 5x over.

    Note that Kjersti joined you first, in your solo recording session of the text. We hear her nails going clickety-clack through the studio during most of the take. In the pauses I’ve inserted between passages of your text, the sudden absence of her nails clickety-clacking through the Kaddish are as noticeable to me as anything I’m doing on the horn.

    And then she joined me later in the studio when I was playing horn. She had to! It’s become a family affair again.
