En este pedazo musical, la belleza del servicio religioso de tres diversas religiones se mezcla junta para crear una coexistencia armoniosa, multicultural, y multilingüe en un solo trabajo de los sonidos. Más específicamente, el material sonido de este trabajo abarca “field recordings” (Mayo de 2006 ) en una sinagoga yemení en Petach Tiqva, la iglesia etíope en Jerusalén, y el Muezzin de la mezquita al-Mahmudiyya en Jaffa. El trabajo comienza con una conversación en inglés con un sacerdote etíope fuera de la iglesia etíope; en el fondo uno puede oír la lectura de Torah de la sinagoga Yemení en hebreo y Aramaic. Encima del ambiente de la sinagoga (los ruidos y el toser), el rezo hermoso en Gez de los sacerdotes etíopes aparece y se entremezcla con las llamadas (árabescas) de Muezzin, las lecturas (hebraicas) de Chazzan y responde de la congregación de la sinagoga.
