To Love A Fellow Jew – 1982 (Tzlil V’Zemer)
I find it to be one of life’s oddities that we don’t ever feel the need to hear how important achdus is, and yet….. we most definitely need to hear how important achdus is.
Asher Buchar (Shmueli Ungar)
What an honor! What a privilege! What a responsibility! Hashem chose us to serve Him and to learn His Torah, and He gives us the Torah anew each day.

Yedid Nefesh by Abie Rotenberg
Composed by Abie Rotenberg on AISH Vol. 1, Yedid Nefesh is a song we sing every Shabbos at Seudat Shlishit. I reached out to Abie to give the meaning behind the song and he sent such a powerful lesson in music . As he explains, Yedid Nefesh is really a love song...

Shabbos Hayom L’Hashem (Shloime Gertner)
Composed by Baruch Levine, it is a song of hope and yearning for the return of the Beis Hamikdash and a renewed connection with Hashem. Similarly, Shabbos has the power for that same connection with Hashem. [sonaar_audioplayer playlist_type="feed" artwork_id=""...
Adon Olam (Y’DID Singers)
When we say Adon Olam, we are reminded that we are not in control but that Hashem is in charge. He takes care of our every need with perfect precision – more perfect than we can possibly imagine. Almost makes you want to sing, doesn’t it…
Kol Mekadesh Shvii
The author of this zemer is unknown, but the words are sung at so many Shabbos table around the world towards the beginning of the Friday night meal. It's a long zemer so I highly recommend looking at the English translation of the entire song, but here is a short...
