In the shadow of the heavy tragedy that befell Klal Yisrael in the untimely passing of 45 righteous and pure souls, singer and composer Yonatan Shainfeld is releasing a new single called ‘Nachem‘ which he wrote and composed himself. The song whose words speak for themselves, expresses the immense pain and inconceivable space that has opened up in the heart of the nation in the wake of the bitter disaster. “נחם ה’ אלוקינו את אבלי ציון וירושלים. וירושלים תתן קולה, ליבי ליבי על חלליהם.”
“On the morning of Lag B’Omer, when the dimensions of the disaster began to become clear, I sat in the car and the lyrics of the song Nachem Hashem simply cried out of me,” says Yonatan Shainfeld. I wrote the song a few months ago and it remained in a drawer. I hope and wish that we will be able to find solace in these words, that we will never lose the belief that everything from him will be blessed, even if we have a hard time understanding.”
