Song: Akiva Nichamtanu

Sung by Baruch Levine

Inspiration by Baruch Levine

 

As we stand here right after Tisha B'av, we can't help but wonder if this will actually be the last Tisha B'av.

Every year we yearn and try to better ourselves with the hope that Hashem will bring us out of this galus, but then Tisha B'av comes again and we're left asking ourselves "What now?!"  But just as quickly as the fast ends, a new hope arises with the famous words "Nachamu Nachamu Ami". What is this nechama, this consolation?  Baruch Levine takes us into the well known gemara with Rabbi Akiva and the famous words "Akiva Nichamtanu! Akiva Nichamtanu!" through his beautiful song. May this year actually be the last Tisha B'av we ever have to mourn, and may the redemption turn this day of sorrow into a day of great celebration.

Recording this episode just one week after the tragic events in Eretz Yisroel on Simchas Torah, I tried to find the right song that could express the feelings of all Klal Yisroel at this moment. Yaakov Shwekey's "Cry No More" fit the feeling, expressing our sole desire to reunite with Hakadosh Baruch Hu in a world with no more pain and no more tears.

 

It is my fervent wish that all the Torah learned, tefillos davened, chessed done, and achdus that has been expressed this past week, be the tipping point for Hakadosh Baruch Hu to finally tell us...CRY NO MORE!

 

This episode is in honor of all Klal Yisroel, of which I'm proud to be a part of. B'zechus a refuah sheleimah to all those injured and b'zechus that all our brothers and sisters in captivity return home.

With Elul just around the corner, it's a great time to start focusing on the King, Hakadosh Boruch Hu.

 

I reached out to Zusha to give some insight into their powerful song "King", and was treated to an amazing background story.

 

Thank you to Zusha, Shlomo Gaisin and Zachary Goldschmiedt.

With just a few days away till Shavuos, EItan Katz's Ki Karov serves as a perfect reminder to all of us that we are so close to being great in Torah and Avodas Hashem. One should never think he's not capable. Hashem tells us "Ki Karov", it's in your heart. All we need to do is dig a little and we'll find greatness.
Wishing everyone a beautiful Yom Tov!

As we count the days leading up to Kabalas HaTorah, the words of vehoer einienu that we say in davening everyday have extra meaning and significance as we try to build ourselves up in our connection to learning Torah and Avodas Hashem.

 

Listen here as Pesach Woznika tells the background and inspiration behind this classic song that first appeared on the Yehudah! Eftach Pi album over 20 years ago.

Afikoman by Eli Levin

As we head into Pesach, many of us remember the tragic passing of Yisroel Levin and Elisheva Kaplan on Chol Hamoed a few years ago. But something that people will never forget was how Yisroel's father was able to put his own pain and grief on the side and think of the rest of Klal Yisroel, as he requested 10,000 shidduchim for Klal Yisroel as compensation for the "Afikoman" that was taken for them.   Subsequently, Yisroel's brother Eli sat down and wrote a stunning song telling the story.    Wishing everyone a Chag Kasher v'Sameach.
