Back to Mount Sinai | Joey Newcomb Back to Mount Sinai | Joey Newcomb

TYH Nation Presents Back to Mount Sinai Joey Newcomb A new song inspired by Reb Shlomo’s vision, in honor of his 31st Yartzheit In his shul hung a sign. A call to return to a Yidishkeit filled with deep connection to Hashem and to ourselves. A Yidishkeit bursting with meaning and alive — every moment a Har Sinai experience “Hayom La’asosam” In tribute to Reb Shlomo, Thank You Hashem is proud to present this niggun along with the full text of this revolutionary vision that was displayed on the walls of Reb Shlomo’s shul. To Jewish parents and children all over the world: We have to take our children back to Mount Sinai out of exile and slavery to a decaying civilization out of the prisons of their own homes and their own Jewish education and bring them back to Mount Sinai, where G-d’s word is real and shining, where they learn what they knew all the time. Where they hear what they heard a long time ago on Mount Sinai, in Jerusalem, in Auschwitz, on the streets of the world, on lonely nights and holy moments. And they know, they will hear it again on the Great Shabbos. We don’t travel the way our grandparents traveled. We go to the same place but we travel differently. What they did in months we do in a few hours. We need a yeshivah where we can put our children into a holy jet. They are ready. Have you heard them cry? The earth is full of their cries. Have you heard them pray? Heaven is filled with their prayers. Have you seen their shining eyes? Only the stars can reflect them. We need a yeshivah where we teach our children how to dream not when they are asleep but when they are awake. A Jew never stops dreaming, because the true G-d people do what He does. G-d is dreaming. The world subjects young people from their early childhood to such mundane dreams. Their souls are aching. Can you feel their pain? We need a yeshivah where we teach our children how to walk again. How to have a Jewish holy spine. Where they can stand again before G-d, not bowed down, but looking up to Him. We need a yeshivah where children are taught the language of nature: the language of the birds bringing a message from Jerusalem, where they understand the wind blowing them in the direction of the Holy Wall. We need a new kind of yeshivah where our children are not taught how they have to study, but how they want to study. We need a yeshivah for little Abrahams who want to get there on their own — but this time together. This time with their brothers. A place where they learn the will of G-d, but even more, the oneness of G-d. We need a yeshivah with teachers who with every letter they teach, show their pupils a new way and with every word, bring them a new soul. It’s an emergency. We lost six million and we are losing more now. The children are waiting. Jerusalem is waiting. The whole world is waiting.
