The lyrics of this song originate from a Kabbalistic intention to set one’s focus for the day.
הריני מכוון לעשות את עצמי כסא ומרכבה לשכינה הקדושה.
“Behold, I intend to make myself a throne and a chariot for the holy, divine presence.”
In essence it is a prayer and intention for us to remember why we are here. What is our purpose? Each day we are granted myriads of opportunities to formulate our thoughts, conversations and behaviors in ways that reveal G-ds infinite presence.
We recall a child who is so taken by the wonders of the world, the simplicity of playing and laughing with his toy horse and chariot. As adults we can become so serious and business-minded, and sometimes our technology, as beautiful as it is, can block our vision from seeing the potential that lays in front of us. If we can return to the world of the child to find the purity, and joy, we can realize our true destiny: to become a vehicle for the deepest light Gd has to offer.

As the month of Adar begins in only couple of days we offer this tune originally composed by Dov Shurin. The words, “once Adar enters (our cycle of time) we increase in joy” are more important now then ever. How is it possible to command an emotion like joy or happiness? Well possibly because joy is an attitude not an emotion. Not saying that every day you have to feel the joy but you must put on the joy glasses, put on the happiness hat, and if you practice the act of smiling, eventually it will become a genuine smile.
This song is upbeat and energetic and makes you want to get up and dance! That’s the holiness of Adar. No matter what is going on in your life, just get up and dance. Life is short and Purim teaches us that HaShem runs the show. So put on a smile, lace up your dancing shoes and share the song with your friends and family.

Illuminating the world effectively begins inwards, ensuring that our home is shining through and through. Chanukah is etymologically related to the hebrew word for education (chinuch). There is nothing more powerful than the education which takes place at home. No matter how brilliant the school system, kids learn the most from their home. As Chanukah comes, we refocus our efforts to kindle flames of faith to illuminate our home and infuse our home with the warmth of holiness and Yiddishkeit. These flickering flames we put by the window for all the world to see, were lit in the intimacy of the home to teach us: You want to make the world a better place? Make your home a better place. Make sure that even if “it’s dark outside”, “it’s light in here”. “Thank You Hashem” because finally, finally - “Chanukah is here”!!!
These words , קרבה אל נפשי גאלה , don’t need a deeper explanation beyond the simple translation - Bring Close the Redemption Of My Soul.
Especially during these days of uncertainty, we can’t afford to miss the opportunity to look deep into ourselves and find that place where we crave for our Soul so much more than it has.
And this process, as this video portrays, must be done with a tremendous amount of simcha.
Enjoy - Be Inspired - Share With A Friend
