Hi friends/family/family-friends,
Sorry I'm also late on my post. I'm still getting used to the "internet".
Here is a song that I played for Einat and Lizzie maybe exactly 3 years ago. I chose a really inopportune time to play the song, so I don't think they could really "hear" it. And then about a year ago, I think Einat sent me the same song and asked "have you ever heard this before?" I'm not sure if I ever told her that I'd played the same song for her two years earlier.
It's by Shye Ben Tzur who sings Sufi devotional Qawali music in Hebrew.

It is a love song to the Divine (isn't everything?):
איך אוכל להמשיך לישון עכשיו
כשאתה בחוץ רוקד
יצאתי לרקוד איתך
ולהיות לקולך עד
הציפורים שרות כל בוקר
שמך
השמש נושקת לאדמה
ואני
אני חולם
How can I continue sleeping
When you are outside dancing
I went out to dance with you
And to be a witness to your voice
Every morning the birds sing
Your name
The sun kisses the ground
And I
I'm dreaming
Shabbat Shalom
-nat
