đŻ Râ Yisroel Yaakov (Jeffrey) Craimer – 18th of Elul
He was a gifted songwriter who lived and breathed the awesome days of Elul and the Yomim Noraâim all year round. Beginning Shabbos Mevorchim Chodesh Elul – and perhaps even before then – his home would be enveloped by the palpable mood of the season. There, you could find him sitting at his table, turning his machzorâs well-worn pages with a trembling hand, humming its hallowed tunes with tears streaming down his cheeks.
V’ahavas Olam (Michael Shapiro)
The key to returning to Hashem is feeling His love, and that if we were only to experience some of Hashemâs love, we would surely find our way back to Him. For this reason, I felt particularly inspired to feature a song that portrays within its words the warmth and comfort that Hashemâs love provides.
King with Zusha
With Elul just around the corner, it's a great time to start focusing on the King, Hakadosh Boruch Hu. I reached out to Zusha to give some insight into their powerful song "King", and was treated to an amazing background story. Thank you to Zusha, Shlomo Gaisin and...
Bein Kach Ubein Kach (Avraham Fried)
Bein Kachâs swinginâ message is quite clear: no matter how you say it and no matter what language you say it in, Hashem loves His children no matter what.

Thinking of Yerushalaim (Naftali Kempeh)
It is impossible for a Jew to forget Yerushalayim. When he eats, when he prays, when he suffers, when he celebrates, when he weds, when he builds a home, and even when he dreams, he thinks of Yerushalayim. A Yid cannot forget Yerushalayim because he simply canât live without it.
There Will Be a Time / Eichah (MBD)
This Shabbos, it is especially fitting that we keep in mind the words of Retzei: ââŠsheâlo teâhei tzarah vâyagon vaâanacha bâyom menuchaseinuâŠ,â that there be no distress, no grief, no pain or suffering for ourselves or for any of our fellow Yidden, “vâhareinu Hashem Elokeinu bânechamas Tzion irechaâŠ,” that we merit to bear witness to the ultimate comfort â the nechamas Tzion â with the immediate rebuilding of the Beis Hamikdash.

Al Naharot Bavel (Kol Achai)
Kapittal 137: a prophetic scene that would sadly come to pass many years later. We were chased out of our homes and found ourselves weary, dragged to the very edge of the rivers of Babylonia. There we sat, inconsolable in our pain, feeling utterly bereft. Al Naharos BavelâŠ.
