Shir Kadosh

08/24/2026

Shir Kadosh means “sacred song,” and on so many levels, this snippet is representative of exactly that.

Cantor Doug Cotler and his son, Rabbi-Cantor Kyle Cotler, bring together two generations, blending their voices to sing Avinu Malkeinu, one of the prayers at the heart of the High Holidays. Its words are simple and direct: we come before God asking for compassion, forgiveness, and the chance to begin again.

When those words are shared by a father and son, leading a congregation together in song, the prayer carries the weight of tradition in a very personal way. One generation teaching, the next carrying it forward, and both voices meeting in harmony to create something new that ripples through others.

That spirit is at the heart of High Holy Days at Shir Kadosh. Music with meaning, tradition that feels alive and relevant, and a community coming together to reflect, sing, and begin a new year side by side.

Come experience music that moves your SOUL.
Join us for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur services between September 11-21 at The Hilton, Woodland Hills.

Some songs carry more than a melody. They carry meaning beyond generations. 💞

Here, Rabbi Cantor Kyle Cotler and his dad, Cantor Doug Cotler, sing “Standing on the Shoulders” together, a song Doug and his brothers wrote about their grandparents and ancestors that they never had the chance to know.

The song opens with a tree in a garden, planted by someone who never lived to see the person now standing beneath it. That image carries the song’s whole idea of l’dor vador: what one generation plants, another harvests, across an unbroken chain from Sinai to the present.

Doug and his brothers wrote the song imagining their ancestors, reaching back toward faces and names lost to time but trying to picture them anyway. That act of loving imagination is its own kind of faith. The people who planted the tree may be unknown, but they are not forgotten, not as long as someone keeps imagining them into their story.

And hearing Doug sing those words beside his son as he leads the congregation in prayer and reflection brings the whole meaning of the song to life in a way that’s hard to put into words.

This is what music at Shir Kadosh can do: carry memory, family, faith and story from one generation to the next, for a feeling that stays with you long after services are complete.

And there’s much more where this came from.

Join Rabbi Cantor Kyle, Cantor Doug, and the entire Shir Kadosh community including our full choir, soloists and orchestra for High Holy Days at The Hilton, Woodland Hills, September 11-21 and experience it for yourself.

Tickets are available now at ShirKadosh.org.
