11:02

Song: Akiva Nichamtanu Sung by Baruch Levine Inspiration by Baruch Levine As we stand here right after Tisha B'av, we can't help but wonder if this will actually be the last Tisha B'av. Every year we yearn and try to better ourselves with the hope that Hashem will bring us out of this galus, but then Tisha B'av comes again and we're left asking ourselves "What now?!" But just as quickly as the fast ends, a new hope arises with the famous words "Nachamu Nachamu Ami". What is this nechama, this consolation? Baruch Levine takes us into the well known gemara with Rabbi Akiva and the famous words "Akiva Nichamtanu! Akiva Nichamtanu!" through his beautiful song. May this year actually be the last Tisha B'av we ever have to mourn, and may the redemption turn this day of sorrow into a day of great celebration. No Internet? No smartphone? No problem!

Recording this episode just one week after the tragic events in Eretz Yisroel on Simchas Torah, I tried to find the right song that could express the feelings of all Klal Yisroel at this moment.

Music is a very sensitive topic, with so many opinions and tastes. This is why Dani sat down with his brother, Aryeh Kunstler, to create this special edition of The Spirit of the Song. In this episode we bring two styles, two mentalities, two opinions, and two brothers together to talk about Jewish music. Just because we can’t listen to music during sefira, doesn’t mean we can’t talk about music during sefira. If anything, at this time, when the volume is turned to zero, we have the ability to stop and think about what we listen to. Hope you enjoy this special episode as much as we enjoyed recording it.
