Jewish Health Guide

Hello Friends! It's been some time since I've been here. Please accept my apologies. I tend to get distracted with so many of my interests. The good news is that it keeps me happy! I have come across a wonderful helpful website that I would like to share with you: The Jewish Health Guide. Please take the time to peruse and use it! B'vracha, Rahel

Fire in the Forest

This song came to me direct and complete. Like Rebbe Nachman's stories it has many levels of meaning to it. It is dedicated to and in many ways about Rebbe Nachman z"l, or about the sages who have studied and lived Torah. It's about you and me who are emulating the sages and keeping G-D and G-D's Torah in front of us. It's about the fire that ignites within when studying and living a life filled with G-D's word. FIRE IN THE FOREST c 1984 Ann R. Silverman-Limor aka RAHEL CD: Hinay Ma Tov; Track 5; Arranged & Produced by Tofa’ah ---- There is a forest far away from here. There sits a weary man tending his treasures of wrinkles and minding his wares. Blessings and prayers, he sings to the Lord. Thickets of life in the pockets of time. There's a fire in the forest. -- In the heart of illusion burns a steady flame; Glowing in the darkness; Questioning life of the here and there. Guarding the answers. Seekers of light yearning for wisdom. Thickets of life in the pockets of time. There's a fire in the forest. -- Sing to the heavens. Reach for a shining star. Covet the secrets of ageless wanderings. Blessings and prayers. Seekers of light sing to the Lord. Thickets of life in the pockets of time. There's a fire in the forest.

Niggun: A Happy Melody

Come on and sing along!

T'home el t'home (Psalm 42:8)

T’home-el-t’home Psalm 42: 8 --- Deep cries out to deep, the sounds of the opened slices of heaven’ all Your breakers and Your billows have swept over me. ---- T’home el t’home, ko-ray l’kol, tsee-no-re-hkha } X2 -- Kol-mish-ba-re-kha, v’ga-le-kha, v’ga-le-kha a-lai, A-lai a-vah-ru -- T’home el t’home … The timing of this performance at a festival taking place the week before Rosh HaShanah, the Jewish New Year, inspired me to bring Greg Salts on the stage to include the powerful awakening sound of the shofar. I felt the addition of the shofar was particularly relevant to these verses of this psalm.

Before the Montains Were Born (Psalm 90:2)

B’terem Harim Yuladu Psalm 90; 2 ----- Before the mountains were born. Before you set forth the earth and the inhabited world. From world to world You are HaShem ---- B’te-rem ha-rim yu-la-du, va-t’kho-lel e-retz v’te-vel ] x2 U-meh-o-lam ad o-lam a-tah kel ] x4 This clip is from a performance a festival in New Hampshire.
