The Lesson of the Flame The Lesson of the Flame

NYC Singer-songwriter Gedalya Folk Rock Rabbi reflects on Hanukkah with his song, The Lesson of the Flame. Folk-rock singer-songwriter Gedalya released “The Lesson of the Flame,” a musical reflection of the need for positive spirituality during difficult situations. “Finding ways to get through hardship is central to spirituality,” Gedalya said. “And I wanted this song to reflect the powerful combination of faith and positivity. “It’s my first time writing a holiday song,” he said. “Even though I wrote this song with the holiday season in mind, it’s about much more than just the annual celebration, this song speaks directly to the power of positivity that is within all of us." While the song reflects Gedalya’s faith, he said its spiritual message is universal. “I wanted ‘The Lesson of the Flame’ to speak directly to the listener’s soul,” he said. “But the message of the song is not inherent to a particular faith; rather it speaks to a state of being. It’s a frame of mind that brings light to the dark.
