The Most Beautiful Selichot | Saturday | September 9

For thousands of years Jews around the world have gathered together at midnight preceding Rosh Hashona to Daven and cry to Hashem to open the gates of heaven. Traditionally, it is one of the most meaningful prayers of the year with men, women and children coming to shul in the midnight hour to stand together in tefila.

At Park East, under the direction of Rabbi Arthur Schnier, Chief Cantor Yitzchok Helfgot and choir over 500 people will gathered together following in this age old custom. Words cannot describe the beauty and impact of heartfelt tefilot.

Bitachon - Chesky Schwartz Productions feat. Beri & Shira

This video is more than just a live second-dance music scene at a recent wedding with Chesky Schwartz and Beri Weber accompanied by Shira Choir; it's an invitation to dance to the rhythms of life's surprises, and a reminder that joy resides in the embrace of Bitachon.

Life plays many dances with us, especially when planning a Simcha, you often lose yourself in the hustle and bustle of decisions on everything from the location and venue to party planning, catering, music, photography, & more. In the face of these challenges, we can either lose it or choose to dance to its beat; Bitachon in Hashem will guide us.

The video starts with a fun twist created by Gershy Schwarcz from Edgware Studios and the Abisel Team, featuring Klal Yisrael's beloved character; Ari Samet 01:24, together expressing examples of the difference between Emuna and Bitachon. (Oh, and that part 0:24 where Beri rides his bike into the lake? That's all on him!)

From 01:56, enjoy the sounds of collaboration between Beri and Chesky Schwartz, a rising star whose presence is the dream of every event. A performance imbued with Bitachon

Songs you will hear range from a variety of famous Jewish music and artists, songs about trust and Bitachon, including works from Satmar, Lipa Schmeltzer, Shmueli Ungar, Matt Dub, Beri Weber, Hershy Weinberger, David Kaufman, and Reb Shloimele Carlbach Z"L.

Press play, take a chance on faith, and lose yourself in a symphony of Bitachon. Share this video with others on this beautiful path, and don't forget to comment on your own journey of faith and trust.

Akiva Gelb | Hashem I am Worthy of YOU being with ME!

We constantly hear songs with the following words: "Father/Hashem, I want to be close to you! I need you!" etc. Akiva Gelb glanced one Shabbos afternoon at the holy words by David Hamelech, Emor LeNafshi, tell my soul that even if I feel far from you I shall feel that your desire is to be close to me, inspired by the words from Esther: "Vetoivu Ani Be'Einav" which in essence is Hashem's response to every one of us: "It is 'good' for 'me' (Hashem) to be with you."

Akiva Gelb took this personally and felt the importance of spreading this beautiful encouraging message to Klal Yisroel. That no matter where we find ourselves, even in the most challenging and seemingly darkest places, it is always "good" for Hashem to be "there" with us. It is His desire to be with you, you, and you.

This led Akiva to compose this beautiful song and right away called David Taub, who arranged the stirring music and choir, and Gershy Schwarcz, who together with Benhesh, captured the essence of our desire for Hashem's closeness to us in motion picture. (Video for those who read plain English)

Remember! Hashem's presence is never far away. Your situation, your location doesn't matter; Hashem's love for you is unchanging.

Let your heart be touched by this message!
