| Inside "Akiva Nichamtanu" with Baruch Levine | 14 Aug 2024 | 00:11:02 | |
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.

| Inside "Cry No More" by Yaakov Shwekey | 23 Oct 2023 | 00:12:10 | |
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.

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.No Internet? No smartphone? No problem!

Song: Yidden Sung by Chaim Ghoori & Mendy Worch Inspiration by Chaim Ghoori
Over the last year we have seen an incredible amount of ahavas yisroel. When we are able to put our differences aside and look deeper into another Yid, we will find someone who is so precious and so pure. Rarely a song comes out and shines this light on every Yid the way the song "Yidden" does. Produced by Thank You Hashem, it is a song that has helped Yidden around the world see the greatness of their fellow Jews, as well as the greatness within themselves.

| What is Jewish Music (with Aryeh Kunstler) | 08 May 2022 | 00:47:17 | |
Music is a very sensitive topic, with so many opinions and tastes. This is why Dani sat down with his brother, Aryeh Kunstler, to create this special edition of The Spirit of the Song. In this episode we bring two styles, two mentalities, two opinions, and two brothers together to talk about Jewish music. Just because we can’t listen to music during sefira, doesn’t mean we can’t talk about music during sefira. If anything, at this time, when the volume is turned to zero, we have the ability to stop and think about what we listen to. Hope you enjoy this special episode as much as we enjoyed recording it.
