Musician Aharon Razel never ceases to amaze.
These days, the students of the daily Daf have really started to study the Tractate "Moed Katan" and Razel is already releasing a song - a story - a work called "Moed Katan Daf G".
In the new single, Razel returns to his great inspiration: R. Shlomo Carlebach.
Here too, as in the song "The Holy Hunchback" which became a classic song and influenced the lives of thousands, the source is a story of R. Shlomo.
The song tells the story of a Holocaust survivor who describes his uncle the "wise student", who did not stop studying even in the death camps, because he knew the Gemara by heart.
One night, the uncle wakes him up.
He knows this is his last day and one request to him: "Please finish the tract for me."
"As the grandson of Holocaust survivors and as a Jew moved by the devotion of Torah study, the message in the story is so powerful and so empowering that I had to share the world with the tear in the song: 'The six million saints ask us: Finish the books we have not finished' ..."
Lyrics: Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach, Composer and Arrangement: Aharon Razel, Musical Production: Avi Tal, Illustration: Shalhabatya Ziszilom, Video Art Editing: Film Studio Narrative.
