Reflections from the artist who sings the TYH song “Yidden” Ft. Chaim Ghoori and Mendy Worch
I remember an idea that I heard from Reb Tzadok:
Just as as we are obligated to believe in G-d,
we are obligated to believe in ourselves,
Peel off the klipos, and see the pnimius.
The same is true as well with every single Yid,
Believe in every Yid!
Every Yid has a Neshamah.
Sometimes it may be hard to understand when Hashem does something,
Yet we believe with our hearts that He’s doing what is best.
The same is true as well with every single Yid,
Believe in the actions of every Yid!
Yidden, so holy, so pure, so precious.
Even if externally it seems that a Yid is not acting in the ways of the Torah,
Know and believe with a full heart,
that a Yid craves Hashem deeply with his whole being,
Neshamos of Yidden.
Even if on the surface we don’t see it,
deep within he just wants Hashem.
We don’t even know or realize how precious we are:
Neshamos of Yidden.
As Reb Yussie Zakutinsky says: “Just as the Torah and Hashem are mysterious,
So too the Yid is filled with an infinite mystery inside them.”
Mach off di klipos, zei di pnimius,
My wish for all Jews, to have The Eyes of the Bardichever,
The eyes of Moshe Rabbeinu who saw us in the deepest way:
Yeider yid hut a neshama
I wish us all a life powered by that deep emunah in ourselves and Hashem,
To know that Hashem deeply believes in us and to know that we deeply believe in Him.
Yidden, vi heilige, vi shein, vi teir.
I feel very lucky that I got to sing one of the most real and honest songs in the world,
Neshamos fun yidden.
