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.

 
Enjoy!

Song: Ribono 

Singer: Simcha Leiner

How does one daven?

Listen to Simcha Leiner tell over a story about a disciple of the Baal Shem Tov to give us an idea of how to daven and what to daven for. 

This story was the inspiration to his famous song Ribono.
Simcha also shares who, or what, he has hakaras hatov to when it comes to putting out a song like this. Enjoy!

Simcha Sussman, one of the leading members of the famous group Shalsheles, takes us behind the scenes into Summer camp, Color Wars, & grand sings to give over some amazing life lessons.   I think it's fair to say that this story not only changed the future for the members of Shalsheles, but the entire Jewish music world as well.   Enjoy!
