The writer and philosopher Aldous Huxley once wrote, “After silence that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.” For many of us, words seem inadequate to describe how we are feeling at this very moment.

For a closer look at one of the tunes on this list, read “The Jewish Song That Comforts Me in Uncertain Times” by Rabbi Alex Kress.
