The setting here of Sim shalom, the prayer for peace toward the end of traditional morning and afternoon services, is also from Adler’s complete Sabbath eve service, Shiru Ladonai. Like his Ahavat olam in that service, this setting was written for either female or male cantor. Adler did not intend the piece exclusively for Jewish worship services, however. “This text has a more universal connotation for me,” he has written. “It is intended to be a meditation on peace and on the ecstasy of the vision of all people living together in harmony.”
