The Kol Nidre is the liturgical declaration that opens the evening service of Yom Kippur. The words declare null and void all vows made to God that were not fulfilled during the past year or will not be fulfilled during the coming year. This recording of the Kol Nidre is chanted by Gerson Sirota, one of the most renowned hazanim (cantors of Jewish liturgy) of the early 20th century.
