L'Duvid Mizmor~Shulem Lemmer and the Shira Choir

As Shabbat Approaches Enjoy the Amazing Voice of Shulem Lemmer and Shira Choir

Tniyeleh by Shulem Lemmer~Close Your Eyes and Enjoy!

This Young Man's Soulful Voice Comes Directly From Hashem~Amazing!

*A Tniyeleh is a short soulful tune sung without words.

Lyrics Translation: 

On the way home from the Rebbe together 

On the way home, we got so many positive influences 

Now I am alone and my heart pines 

Now I am alone but I remember the tniyeleh* 

 Ah, ah... 

When a hard time comes, from the Creator Who seems so far 

When a hard time comes, tests from every side 

I see the Rebbe standing himself by the lectern 

I see the Rebbe alone, singing the tniyeh, so beautifully 

Ah, ah... Ay, ay, ay, the tniyeleh, even when I’m far away

Ay, ay, ay, the tniyeleh warms my heart 

Ah, ah…

Independence Day in My Neighbourhood~Nof Zion

Looking Down From the Balcony

Since the lock down from the corona virus my community has striven to maintain a quality of life that includes neighbours checking on each other and offering aid when needed.

The families on the lower floors often play instruments and sing songs, and every day the men have their minyan for daily prayers while "distancing" themselves. 

They stand in their yards and on their balconies, and even without microphones we can follow along. I must say I do enjoy being able to sit in my front room or on the balcony and follow the prayers.

Har Habayit

I have lived here for several years now. The community is made up of  a mixture of young and old families, senior citizens, religious and not so religious. The people are warm but do not "get in your face" as sometimes happens when you live in close circumstances. I love my apartment and am very happy to be able to live in Jerusalem so close to the Old City.

One of my favourite things is the view! From every balcony we see Har Habayit, Har Zayteem  and over to the far right the security wall and in the far distance the lights of Jordan on a clear night. We are also overlooking Jabel Mukaber. The plus side of that is the regular fireworks displays. Particularly during the summer months we see very impressive displays most nights.

For Independence day the community set up speakers and flags and gave us all a public celebration while maintaining distancing.  While I am sure that everyone misses "personal contact" it is a wonderful thing to be able to feel connected as a community. While standing on our balconies we could hear and look around and see our neighbours taking part in this most important day for Israel~it was exhilarating! Am Israel Chai!!
