Answer Me

Jun 17, 2016 By Joel Alter | Commentary | Naso

In a plaintive and anxious song by Israeli singer Ehud Banai called 鈥淎neh Li鈥� (鈥淎nswer Me鈥�), the challenge of communicating with God is rendered as an increasingly panicked monologue by a man waiting for a voice he鈥檚 sure is on the other end of the phone line:

You鈥檙e breaking up鈥攖here鈥檚 background noise鈥攊t鈥檚 like the ocean.
I guess there鈥檚 no reception here鈥攜ou鈥檝e disappeared.
I鈥檓 still waiting on the line for my turn.
I鈥檓 holding the connection, in case you return . . .
Are you still with me?
Answer me.

Light Shine Through

We are Hollow Bamboo
Open up your heart and let the light shine through
Light shine, light shine through!
Light shine, light shine through

The Still, Small Voice

Jun 10, 2016 By Sam Blustin | Commentary | Shavuot

In 1 Kings 19, Elijah experiences a divine intervention: an angel brings him food, and then, on Mount Sinai, God passes by him. But God was not in the wind, nor the earthquake, nor the fire, but 鈥渢he still, small voice.鈥� This chapter includes allusions to other moments of divine revelation, which we highlighted in this song, including the giving of the Torah.
