What Fun!

 

[Denizen]

My favorite thing about Israel is that it is a long way from where I live.

The real Jewish homeland is New York.

And shall blossom like a rose

'Omer Koren, Narkis and Tal Gordon - Lecha E-li

To You my G-d is my passion, In You is my desire and my love
To You is my heart and my intentions, to You is my spirit and soul

To You are my hands, to You are my feet
And from You is my character
To You is my self, to You is my blood
And my skin with my corpse

To You my eyes and my ideas, to You my shape and form
To You my spirit and my strength, and confidence and hope

To You will I yearn and won't be silent
Until You light my darkness
To You will I cry, to You will I stick
Until my return to my land

To You is Kingship to You is pride, to You will appropriate my praise
Yours is help at time of trouble, be my help in my trouble

And what am I, and what is my life?
And what is my strength and my power?
As a strayed pushed straw, and how will You remember my erring

And hidden light before You, may be my hiding and my cover
And under the shadow of Your wing let be my side

- from a famous piyyut written by Rabbi Avraham ibn 'Ezra​

Amir Dadon and Shuli Rand - Between Sacred and Mundane

Between sacred and mundane I live
With the truth that rages in me
With a thousand habits
With every scar on my face
(With all the fear on my shoulders)
I go out again to spread the words
Between the reality and madness everything returns to me
There the place I came from there's no peace
And this journey is heavy and a bit big on me
I need to grow from this and enough
Grow from this and enough

Guard me please
Only that my feet don't fail



The new Ba'al Teshuvah anthem?
Between the sacred and mundane, between the holy and secular...if only there were words to describe the atmosphere and the irony of releasing this song now.
Judgment Day is coming, it's Rosh Hashanah and the whole world is being judged.
The books are full and ready.

Don't pretend not to hear or to see.
Don't pretend there's nothing to say.

“The baal teshuvah,” the sages taught, “stands in a place where the perfectly righteous could never stand.”​
