Maoz Tzur by Franciska Featuring Maayan Davis
The song of Maoz Tzur reviews the different stages of Jewish History, it captures our survival despite being persecuted as a nation for so many generations.
The song is not complete, even the last verse was written and added in separately later on.
This is because history is not over, we are a part of living it, writing it.
As important it is to know where we come from as humans, it’s important to recognize that our actions and choices are designing and paving the future.
History is not over and we celebrate the significance of our existence.
To me, composing a new tune to these ancient texts allows me to partake in future history.
This uplifting Jazzy expression of music combines the harsh parts of history with a recognition of the strength and resilience we build as a result.
This is something to smile and dance about.
We matter!
Our ideas matter!
Our choices matter!
You are important
You are beautiful
You are worth celebrating.
Happy Chanuka to you all!
Wishing you the joys of finding light in everything, even the dark.
Thank you to all the incredibly talented people involved in making this project happen.
