יעקב שוואקי - Yaakov Shwekey - Dance My Fears Away יעקב שוואקי - Yaakov Shwekey - Dance My Fears Away

I got the inspiration for this song from my dear friend world, renowned speaker, Rabbi YY Jacobson who told the story about his grandmother Mrs. Lipsker who had a very difficult childhood under the communist rule Even after they fled to the USA by the grace of heaven, life was not always bright for her. One day she went to the Lubavitcher Rebbe Zt’l to receive a blessing and advice how to read herself from fear and anxiety , and the Rebbe advised her to dance at as many weddings as possible, to make the brides and families happy, and through this she would attain complete inner joy. And so for decades Mrs. Lipsker went to thousands of weddings and made thousands of brides and families happy. In Crown Heights of those days, there were many baalei teshuva who got married without a large family and she took upon herself the privilege of dancing and making the bride and the participants happy. Through the joy she brought into the world, Mrs. Lipsker gained complete joy in her personal life as well. This incredible story inspired made me release the song “Dance my Fears Away” and through it influence as many people as possible to dance and make others happy and thus banish sadness and fears and fill us with true inner joy.
