Frankly, I couldn’t imagine that this would ever be possible. I didn’t think that the day would come when someone would undertake such tremendous work. But suddenly, Arkadi Duchin came along: an amazing musician and singer, and a person very close to me. He started collecting what he considers the most vivid moments from the Daily Kabbalah Lesson and writing a song based on them. And not just one song.

Every day, we hold the Daily Kabbalah Lesson. And every day, he writes a new song. But they are not just regular songs! They preserve the entire meaning of the Daily Kabbalah Lesson, all its energy, its whole spiritual charge.

Thanks to Arkadi, a whole new style of spreading the wisdom of Kabbalah has suddenly emerged – one that is sensual, emotional and accurate.

Although the songs are in Hebrew, I am gladly posting them on my English blog, because I’m sure that everyone will understand them.

Here is a song called “This Is Egoism” based on the Daily Kabbalah Lesson of 08.04.09:

This is the Ego
By Arkadi Duchin, Sima Duchin and Jack Duyev
Music: Arkadi Duchin
Lyrics: Arkadi Duchin

Based on the Daily Kabbalah Lesson of 08/04/09

Arkadi: For me, the goal is to stay as close as possible to what Rav Laitman is saying and to convey it through song, in a way that will be easier for people to digest. The challenge isn’t simple. I’m constantly faced with the question: “Do I understand it?” Because I have to convey the message, I have to check whether I have understood it myself and if I can even implement such a thing at all…

Lyrics:
“This Is Egoism”
Catch the fugitive – egoism – till the end,
So it won’t have anywhere to run.
So we’ll want only one thing:
To get rid of it forever.
When we attain the root of evil,
And, ashamed, will reveal the Light,
When the culprit will leave the stage,
Never bringing the wanted change,
We will discover the formula for goodness:
Only together.
