Love at First Sight

לחן: שם טוב לוי

מה שהרס אותי                                       What destroyed me 
היה הצחוק שהיה לך בעיניים                     Was the laughter in your eyes
כשאמרת נעים מאוד                                 When you said "what a pleasure to meet you"
מה שהמיס אותי                                      What melted me
היה החום שזרם ממך                               Was the warmth that flowed from you
כשנתת לי ידך                                          When you gave me your hand

היתה זאת אהבה ממבט ראשון                   It was love at first sight
כמו בסיפורים                                           Like in the stories
אהבה ממבט ראשון                                   Love at first sight

מה שהרס אותי                                         What destroyed me
היה הכן שהיה לך בעיניים                           Was the sincerity in your eyes
כשפגשת את מבטי                                     When they met mine
מה ששבר אותי                                          What broke me
היה החופש שקרן ממך                                 Was the calm that radiated from you
כשאמרת לי את שמך                                    When you told me your name

היתה זאת אהבה ממבט ראשון                    It was love at first sight
כמו בסיפורים                                            Like in the stories
אהבה ממבט ראשון                                    Love at first sight

מה שהרס אותי                                          What destroyed me
היה הצחוק שהיה לך בעיניים                        Was the laughter in your eyes
כשאמרת נעים מאוד                                    When you said "what a pleasure to meet you"



גיטרה וכינור                                          Guitar and Violin                                                                                                                    

מילים ולחן: שלום חנוך


בדירה קטנה, חשוכה מעט
 In a small apartment, it's a little dark
לא רחוק מכאן, בסימטה בצד
 Not far from here, in a side alley
גר בחור אחד עם אישה אחת
A young man lives with a woman
חיים מכל הבא ליד           
They live from hand to mouth
נישאים הם סחור וסחור                            
They are lifted up around and around
הוא גיטרה, היא כינור
He's a guitar, she's a violin                                                                        

מחליפים מיתר כשחורף בא                                                                                                                     
They change strings when winter comes
היא תולה מבט, הוא שוקע בה
She looks at him, he looks at her
ואחר כך יד, נגיעה קלה
And then he touches her lightly
נשיקה באויר הוא שולח לה
He sends her an air kiss
מסתלסלת סחור וסחור
It twirls around and around
כמו גיטרה וכינור
Like a guitar and a violin
הוא על זמן והיא על אור.
He's beyond time and she's beyond light

בלילות שישי, במוצאי שבת
On Friday nights, on nights after Shabbat ends,
אוהבים הרבה, מדברים מעט
They love a lot, they don't say much
מנגנים דואט ובבת אחת,
They play a duet and all at once
הצלילים עולים והלב נרעד
The tunes rise and the heart trembles
נישאים הם סחור וסחור
They are lifted up around around
הוא גיטרה היא כינור.
He's a guitar, she's a violin

כשהקיץ בא הם פורשים כנף
When summer comes they fly away
בעקבות חלום שחלמו בסתיו
Following a dream they dreamed last fall
והם לא אמרו אם הם יחזרו
And they didn't say if they will return
מהרי נפאל, מערבות פרו
From the mountains of Nepal, from the plains of Peru
נודדים שם סחור וסחור
They are wandering around and around
הוא על זמן והיא על אור
He's beyond time and she's beyond light
עם גיטרה וכינור.
With guitar and violin

בדירה קטנה, חשוכה מעט
In a small apartment it's a little dark
לא רחוק מכאן בסימטה בצד
Not far from here, in a side alley
גר בחור אחד עם אישה אחת...
A young man lives with a woman

How the Mir Yeshiva was saved during the Six-Day War

During the Six Day War, many people took refuge in the bomb shelter basement of the Mir Yeshivah in  Jerusalem.  After the war, some bachurim went up to the roof of the yeshiva and found three bombs there. Miraculously they hadn’t detonated. Reb Chaim Shmuelevitz zt'l told the yeshiva students, "You probably think you were saved in the merit of your never-ending Torah and tefilot in the bomb shelter, but I know the real reason we merited this miracle. A mother and her five children were with us in the bomb shelter. Her husband abandoned her years ago, and since then she struggles to support her family all by herself. As bombs fell in Yerushalayim, I heard her say, 'Hashem, You know that I have all the reasons in the world to be angry with my husband. Nevertheless, I forgive him. And just as I forgive him, You should forgive and save us.' Her vitur and forgiveness is what saved us." (Torah Wellsprings, Yom Kippur 5783, Rabbi Elimelech Biderman, shlita)

Mesirut Nefesh

The Gemara (Avodah Zarah 9.) teaches that the world will exist for six thousand years. The first two thousand years are called תהו (void) because there was no Torah in the world. The following two thousand years are called the years of Torah. The final two thousand years is the era of Moshiach because Moshiach will come then." The first two millennia of Torah began when Avraham Avinu was 52 years old. Why don’t the two thousand years start from the time Avraham recognized Hashem (which is at the age of 3, 40, or 48, as discussed above)? The Satmar Rebbe zt'l answered that when Avraham was 52, Nimrod threw him into the fiery furnace at Ur Kasdim because he refused to worship idols. The value of Torah is when it’s kept with mesirus nefesh. Avraham believed in Hashem earlier, but when he was 52 years old, he kept the Torah with mesirus nefesh. That’s the beginning of the two thousand years of Torah. During the Communist regime, it was difficult to find a mohel in Russia. One Russ...

The Chofetz Chaim, the businessman, and a tsunami in China: A language that only Yidden understand

There was a Yid who moved to China for business. Once, while visiting in Europe, he made a stop at the Chofetz Chaim's zt'l home. "How are our brothers in China faring?" the Chofetz Chaim asked. "There are almost no Yidden there," the merchant replied. "There are millions of goyim, but only a handful of Yidden, and they are all very weak in their Yiddishkeit." The Chofetz Chaim gave him his sefer Nidchei Yisrael and said, "I wrote this sefer specifically for the Yidden who live in such places, distant from Torah centers. When you go back to China, bring this sefer to them. It will be good for them." The Chofetz Chaim continued, "And what else is new in China?" "There was a tsunami," the man replied. "Thousands of people died." "Oy, we must do teshuvah," the Chofetz Chaim exclaimed. "Why must we do teshuvah?" the merchant asked. "As I told you, there are almost no Yidden in China, and ...
