    As we prepare for Pesach amidst so much turmoil in the world, and specifically the danger in which Klal Yisroel faces from so many of its enemies, we can't help but thank Hashem for all the chessed He has done for us recently. Time and time again Hashem has protected us from annihilation, but we are seeing in our generation the crystal clear hashgacha of Hashem in protecting His people.
     
    May this month of Nisan and the Yom Tov of Pesach bring us the ultimate redemption!

    Song: Chanukah is Here 
    Composed by: Elimelech Blumstein
    Sung by: Zusha
     
     
    We're living in dark times. With what's going on in Eretz Yisroel and the spread of anti semitism around the world, the Yom Tov of Chanukah brings a much needed light to the Jewish world.
     
     
    Baruch Hashem, over the last few months we have witnessed communities and individuals from across Klal Yisroel who have spread their light to others. Chanukah is a time to bring that light to new levels.
     
     
    May you all have a lichtege Chanukah, and may all of Klal Yisroel see the ultimate light very soon in our days.
     
     
    Thank You Hashem!

    Inside "Cry No More" by Yaakov Shwekey

    Inside "Cry No More" by Yaakov Shwekey

    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.

Great podcast!

I really appreciate how each episode is short and to the point, it gives a small extra taste into the song! I also love the conversation between Dani and Aryeh about Jewish music! So much perspective!
