Composed by Meir Levine, Waterbury Yeshiva
Fitting the right words into a song can be a difficult feat, especially when you have powerful words like Gam Ki Eilech. But Meir Levine of Waterbury wrote a song at a time of fear that shines a light on how Hakadosh Baruch Hu is with us even in the darkest times.   The depth of this song actually comes from its simplicity. Take this song with you and listen to it in good times and dark ones.   Lchaim.   Lyrics: גם כי אלך בגיא צלמות, לא אירא רע כי אתה עמדי, שבטך ומשענתך המה ינחמני.   Translation: Though I walk in the valley overshadowed by death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me. Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

Composed by Reb Aharon Karliner
Insight by Rabbi Moshe Ginian

One of the prettiest and most meaningful songs sung on Shabbos night, the depth that Rav Aharon Karliner injected into this zemer is so powerful and inspiring.

 
Rabbi Moshe Ginian helps us understand this depth and gives us the appropriate background and meaning to take with us when we sing it on Shabbos night.

Song: Listen to Your Neshama
Singer: Yerachmiel Begun

Yerachmiel Begun, one of my musical mentors as a child during my time in the Miami Boys Choir, was the perfect address to hear about the power of Jewish music.

The main focus of this podcast is to give the listener a deeper, more meaningful, understanding of the songs we love to listen to.

Yerachmiel's message in this song is exactly that, to tap into and listen to your neshama in the realm of Jewish music.
