IDF Chief Cantor- Prayer for the State of Israel

Earlier this year, my father-in-law sent me a video of a guy singing a "Prayer for the State of Israel" (Avinu Shebashamayim). It just so happens, it was Shai Abramson, the IDF's Chief Cantor as of 2009. Apparently, in 2008, he was asked to sing at an IDF function and after he finished, the Chief of Staff said on the podium, “I greatly enjoyed that amazing chazan (cantor),” Ashkenazi said. “Your voice is amazing and if you lack a horizon at Elram [the previous name for Technology and Logistics Branch – ed.] then you have one in chazanut with us,”.
