Vehi Sheamda - Baruch Raff

7 April 2020

Tomorrow night is Pesach. It's a year that is both sad in that we can't be with our extended families, but joyous as we focus on those closest to us and know that this is part of Hashem's plan. When I sat at the piano earlier tonight my thoughts were with those who are fighting this illness. May we all know health and refuah.
Good Yom tov.

Lyrics
והִיא שֶׁעָמְדָה לַאֲבוֹתֵיֽנוּ וְלָנֽוּ. שֶׁלֹא אֶחָד בִּלְבָד, עָמַד עָלֵיֽנוּ לְכַלּוֹתֵנֽוּ. …וְהַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא מַצִּילֵנוּ מִיָּדָם

Vehi She’amda, La’avosainu Velanu Shelo Echad Bilvad, Amad Aleinu Lechaloseinu … V’HaKadosh Baruch Hu Matzilenu Miyadam.

And this (God’s blessings and the Torah) is what kept our ancestors and what keeps us surviving… For, not only one arose and tried to destroy us, and Hashem saves us from their hands.
