Moshe Mendlowitz & Naftali Kempeh - Ma Enosh

Dovid HaMelech looks to the heavens and exclaims, "When I see Your heavens, the work of Your hands, the moon and the stars which You have set there, I am then confounded, what is Man that You should mention him, or consider him of any worth?! Yet by infusing him with a neshamah, You created him only a tad lower than the heavenly angels, and You crowned him with majesty and glory.

The Gemara in Shabbos explains this passuk in the following manner: מה אנוש כי תזכרנו... Although Man is nothing when compared to angels, ותחסרהו מעט מאלקים...., by giving him the Torah, thereby crowning him with glory, he is able to surpass the level of even the heavenly angels.

Sha'ka Chama - Shlomo Y Rechnitz & Moshe Mendlowitz

NEW VERSION OF THE OLD MOVING CLASSIC SONG SH'AKA CHAMA BY SHLOMO YEHUDA RECHNITZ & MOSHE MENDLOWITZ.

FROM DESPAIR TO OPTIMISM.
At a time when Klal Yisroel and the world at large are going through such difficult times, this song can capture our souls and uplift our spirits, while infusing us all with a renewed sense of emunah and bitachon.

In the year 1907 the poem, Shak'a Chamo, was written by the Rosh Hayeshiva of Bais Medrash L'rabanan in Berlin, Avrohom Eliyahu Kaplan OBM. He wrote it at the age of seventeen while learning in Slabodka. As a student of the famous Slabodka Yeshiva he internalized the teachings of Musar, as is evident from this poem, which contains a sense of depression and searching. It begins: "The sun has set... my soul has set / In the depth of its sorrow as great as the sea...".

More than a century later, Los Angeles businessman and philanthropist Shlomo Yehuda Rechnitz composed an amazing addendum to the poem. An original high part with its own lyrics. While the tune of the addendum is clearly inspired by the original melody, the new lyrics written to the poetry,  take on a more encouraging and uplifting theme.

Moshe Mendlowitz "Nachamu" Composed by S.Y Rechnitz

After the war, Rav Mordechai Tzukerman, a great tzaddik who survived World War II, spent the next 60 years in Yerushalayim, out of the limelight and away from all fame, honor, and prestige.
Torah was his life. As such, Rav Mordechai’s recreational time with his children was limited to once a week — after Shalosh Seudos. Every week, as the sun was setting, Rav Mordechai would take a walk with his children around the neighborhood. They would walk, hand in hand, and he would point out the various buildings and construction sites in the area. Rav Mordechai’s children cherished the precious moments of their serene stroll with their father, and looked forward to this special time.

This routine repeated itself week after week, nearly every Shabbos of the year. But there were three Shabbosos of the year when Rav Mordechai would not take his special walk with his children — the Shabbosos of the Drei Vachen, the Three Weeks. During the weeks between the 17th day of Tammuz and Tishah B’Av, Rav Mordechai refrained from taking his very enjoyable walk. He explained to his children, “If the Shechinah is in pain, then we must try to feel Its pain, as well.” Disappointed, they waited each year until Shabbos Nachamu, the Shabbos after Tishah B’Av. Finally, on Shabbos Nachamu, Rav Mordechai would prepare special treats for their walk, while his children could hardly control their excitement. Once more, their father would take his children by their hands and walk around Givat Shaul after Shalosh Seudos.

This poignant story teaches us how we must look at our relationship with the Al-mighty. Throughout the year, we “walk” with our Father. He takes us lovingly by the hand and strolls with us. But there are times of the year when the Al-mighty acts in a manner of hester Panim, hidden Countenance. During these trying times, it is most difficult to feel His Hand. We sense that He is not walking with us.

But we know with unequivocal certainty that He is there with us. We may not feel it and we may not see it. But He’s there. And He knows that we are His children, and there is nothing that we would love more than for the whole world to see us walking with our Father...and have Him holding our hand.
Forever.

"נחמו נחמו עמי יאמר אלקיכם דברו על לב ירושלם וקראו אליה"
"'Comfort, comfort My people,' says your G-d.'Speak consolingly of Yerushalayim and call to her…'" (Yeshayah 40:1-2)

Composed by Shlomo Yehuda Rechitz. Sung by Moshe Mendlowitz
