RACHEM
With lyrics from Birkat Hamazon, we sing to Hashem to have mercy & compassion on each of us, the Jewish people as a whole and the holy city Yerushalayim. The upbeat tempo and soaring chorus are a reflection of our yearning to draw the future near to the day we can “Dance and Celebrate” the arrival of Mashiach Ben David and the return of his kingdom. |
FOR A DREAM
For a Dream was written for Sephardic Bikur Holim & the Disney half marathon. This song is to help inspire people to push themselves to new heights to selflessly build for others around them. Whether running a marathon, volunteering time, or bringing people’s dreams to life, we are emulating Hashem’s ways by building worlds through chesed. |
BISHVIL HAKOL
Most days pass us by without us realizing or paying attention to the details. Bishvil Hakol was written to remind us to stop, notice and finally thank Hashem for everything that he gives us day in and out. |
VESHAVTI
Veshavti was inspired by Maimonides Hilchot Teshuva. It encourages to have the courage to walk in derech hashem and be confident in who you are despite the odds. Ultimately returning to G-D’s place, Jerusalem and celebrating the synergy of oneself within a national identity. |
SUPERMOON
Supermoon was written in the Summer of 2014 during Operation Protective Edge. The summer was filled with constant alerts of bombings on our families living in Israel, and amazing heroic stories of our brothers in the IDF on the front lines. From the unprecedented technology in the Iron Dome to the discovery & destruction of the terror tunnels, Hashem’s love & protection of Am Yisrael is as clear as day. |
HOW LONG
On November 26th 2008 Gavriel and Rivkah Holtzberg A"H were targeted and killed by terrorists in Mumbai. As the news unfolded, these emotional words flowed from the extreme sadness of their deaths and the stark reminder of this long galut the Jewish people have endured. It is a plea to Hashem: "How long can we wait?!" Ki Kel Melech Chanun Verachum Atah. |
MA'AMIN (ROCKET RIDE)
Ma'amin is about realizing the unique strengths that Hashem placed inside each of us and using them to succeed against all odds. As soon as you take off on your rocket ride you can't help but notice that the Creator of the Universe is flying with you on your journey, and just then you know how it feels to be Ma’amin. |
KOL SASSON
From the day you start praying for your shiduch to the night you find yourself under the chupah, Hashem is guiding your feet to that moment. Celebrate the night with dancing and a blessing sheyivneh bayit neeman beyisrael. |
COURAGE TO CHANGE THE WORLD
IN MEMORY OF SHLOMO DAVID BEN PANINA This song was inspired by people that are not scared to let their guard down and engage the world. It’s this vulnerability that creates an openness and a desire to love, heal and build with others no matter their current situation in life. In return we get to fulfill one of our ultimate purposes, to build and define who we are in G-d’s world and have the courage to change the world… one relationship at a time. |
MAH RABU MAASECHA
Written with the words we pray every day in Yotzer Or, this song is inspired by the awesomeness of Hashem's creations. Whether from the mysteries of the deepest oceans or the expansiveness of outer space, He continues to recreate our universe for us every single day. |

PAY IT FORWARD (DJ Cohen feat. RJ2)
Pay it Forward was adapted from the original poem written by DJ Cohen called “Community”. The poem’s theme was based on DJ's awareness of the one-of-a-kind community we have the zechut to live in, that welcomes and opens its doors to anyone in need. It's strength, love and willingness to give knows no bounds or prejudice. This is CHESED at it's finest. |
