“I want to be carried into a deep, deep salty sea of sound, rhythm, in tune with oceanic harmonies…”

“All that remains to me / of my family’s life in Ukraine… / are four silver kiddush cups…”

“On the land / we were forbidden to light / candles, they now burn / under rocket-fire”

“As this day begins its dark descent / our tongues go dry again”

“But there’s the funnyman, the Jew / with stubbled jaw and haunted eyes”

“My grandparents / spoke Yiddish on muddy streets”

“Because they left / We live.”

Healing niggun set to the melody of a traditional Ukrainian lullaby

“Bless those fighting to protect their homeland”

“G-d of compassion, / Put an end to the war in the Ukraine”
