JAMAICA One Love
ResortHoverInformation



Myer Lyon (leoni) came to Jamaica in 1789 and became the finest cantor in the synagogue then located at the corner of Barry and Orange Streets in Kingston. He adapted the Slavic melody to the ancient Hebrew Hymn text "Yigdal" which is a standard in most Ashkenazi synagogues. He wrote the hymn "The God of Abraham Praise" which became a standard in many Christian churches. He is buried in the old Jewish cemetery on Elletson Road near Windward Road in Kingston
