An instrumental cover of Abie Rotenberg's Bo'ee B'Shalom.

An update about the podcast, and blessings for the new year.

'Planning things' is not the same as 'doing things.' It's okay and good to put ourselves out there be who Hashem created us to be - even when we're struggling.

My reimagining of Lev Tahor's 'Moshe' which is one of my all time favorite songs.

I channeled a lot of emotion into this one.

I hope maybe one day they'll see it. :-)

Geulah Song (Instrumental track: “Disenchanted” by My Chemical Romance)

Well I was born in a place so far removed from the scene

Where generations ago, we knew we’re all meant to be.

I know one day we’ll come home,

But it’s hard to feel what that means.

We lost our way in the exile, distorted Your call.

We are content just to visit and to pray at the Wall.

We forgot what we’re missing,

And that’s the saddest part of all.

Oh, ohhh…

We don’t belong

Out in the darkness, so come on…

How could You leave us with hope almost gone,

You know we haven’t worn out everything….

We’re still the same ones we were back then,

The ones You took out of Egypt, gave the Torah, and then

We fell again and again, but You never let it be the end.

Fast forward past the crusades, the persecution and war,

Through the shadows of history to when we were born….

Our generation is aching, but most of us don’t know what for.

Oh, ohhh…

Please take us home.

Don’t leave us out here all alone.

We want to come back to You, but You know

That we cannot do it on our own.

Hashiveinu eilecha

V’nashuva

Chadesh yameinu k’kedem.

Yibaneh HaMikdash.

You’re still the same One Who loved us before.

From our earliest days, now and forevermore.

Bring all the pain to an end.

Don’t make us hurt again.

Ki va, ki va, ki va moed!

Please, God, we’re begging You, and

Yehi Ratzon milfanecha - make us part of Your plan.

Chadesh yameinu k’kedem,

Bring us back to our land.

Please, God, we’re looking to You.

Help us do what is righteous and true.

Bring all creation full circle,

All that we want is You.
