Yom Tov Notes
Listen. Connect. Reflect. Repeat.
The Man From Vilna (Journeys)
He had witnessed a world that had gone so wrong, but from that point forward, he spent his life planting the seeds for a world that would exist long after he was gone. To Rabbi Goldman, it was always about our future.
Hoshana (Yoni Z feat. Cantor Moti Zigelboum)
On Hoshana Rabbah, when the judgment of the year becomes finalized, we come full circle – pun intended. We take the aravos – which represent the lips and are quite appropriately shaped as such – and we show that the old adage is indeed true: Actions speak louder than words.
Oz Yimoleh (Yeedle feat. MBD)
The Jewish Nation is seen walking to and from shul carrying their precious lulavim and esrogim, and are heard singing their joyous Shabbos and Yom Tov tunes through the thin walls of their magnificent sukkahs. The beauty of Klal Yisroel shining through and on display in a very royal and majestic way, all over the world – wow! Mi K’amcha Yisroel!
Ya’aleh (MBD)
While we may have had different tunes that got us to this point, one thing remains universal: we all want nothing more than for our tefilos to reach Hashem’s Heavenly Throne.
You Fall Down, You Get Back Up – “Part 2” (Joey Newcomb)
No matter who you are or where you find yourself, you must remember that failure is apart of growth, and that it’s never too late to get back up and start over again.
It’s Never Too Late – “Part 1” (Joey Newcomb)
If you will find it in your heart to take me back, then I will see this flag and know that I am welcome to return. But if you cannot bear to see me again after all the grief I’ve put you through, and please know that I would understand if you felt this way, then simply don’t show up at all and I will remain on the train as it passes on through.
With love and respect,
Your Son
T’kah B’shofar – 1967 (R’ Michel Twerski)
When Rosh Hashanah arrives, the shofar announces its arrival along with all the new beginnings and fresh opportunities that we had hoped and prayed for the entire year. But if you listen closely, you will understand that the shofar does much more than we thought.
Kumzitz Medley (Yaakov Shwekey)
Shabbos has served as a weekly reminder that even though we don’t know what awaits us in the coming week, we do know that Hashem is here with us and is orchestrating the entire thing. That knowledge alone has given us the comfort and hope that we have desperately needed in order to regain our focus and to forge on another 7 days…
Tefillah (Mordechai Shapiro)
We sometimes convince ourselves that Hashem is too busy running the world to listen to us, with our trivial requests and inadequate praise and thanks… He’s got bigger things to worry about these days, right? Actually, we couldn’t be more wrong. We are Hashem’s children and we must know without a doubt that we are being heard – and not only that – but are being answered as well!
