Rabbi Sirull has also produced other soundtracks of Jewish music.

“I was hoping that this video would impart the message of Rosh Hashanah, which is to commit that we will try to improve ourselves in the coming year,” Rabbi Sirull explained.

"Why doesn't anyone ever send out Jewish New Year cards anymore?! Well, I don't either. Figured it was time to come up with another way of wishing my loved ones a Shana Tovah (Happy Jewish New Year) so here's my video greeting - because it's Rosh Hashanah!"
