Two great singers, one from the Hassidic singer and the other from the original Jewish singer, Avraham Fried and Shuli Rand, in a new joint single in which they perform the lyrics of the song of honor “Anaim Zmirot” in the familiar and moving melody that plays on the capillaries of the heart.
“When Yom Kippur left,” said the Lubavitcher Rebbe, “the crowd dispersed in the moonlight to his house, and the synagogue remained empty. Only one man found it difficult to say goodbye to the sanctity of the day. He leaned against one of the tables, and began to chant words of longing. In his uniqueness and holiness: “I will sing songs, and woven songs, for to you my soul longs.” His eyes closed and his soul sang with love, he stroked the longing words, longing for El Al, until the door opened and the rays of sun penetrated the synagogue. “
“Before the astonished eyes of those who rise for the morning prayer stands a Jew who forgot to eat, forgot to sleep and forgot to recover from the Yom Kippur fast.”
The laws of the Torah and the details of the mitzvos encrypt their inner axis, which is pure love. Quiet love, exciting love, love as fire and love as water. The fourteen commandments are fourteen streams of love. Even if at times it seems to us, we are not really strangers. We are invited to open our hearts, and listen quietly to the melody of the secret that is taking place within us. “My soul desires in the shadow of your hand, to know every secret of your secret.”
Anaim Zmirot performed by Avraham Fried and Shuli Rand from the Thirsty Project.
Lyrics:
I will sing hymns and songs, for I will long for you.
The soul of covetousness in the shadow of your hand, to know every secret of your secret.
(From the piyyut “Song of Honor”)
