Emanuel Roro

There are ancient words that take on deeper meaning in times of tragedy. In memory of the victims of the October 7 massacre, @emanuel.roro, @shai_sol and @presencerevival sang Vehi She’amda on Habima Square in Tel Aviv as a powerful testimony of resilience and hope 🇮🇱 The traditional Passover song has been sung by Jewish families for generations. Today, three years after October 7, these ancient words resonate once again: וְהִיא שֶׁעָמְדָה לַאֲבוֹתֵינוּ וְלָנוּ Vehi she’amda la’avoteinu velanu And this promise has sustained our fathers and us. שֶׁלֹּא אֶחָד בִּלְבָד עָמַד עָלֵינוּ לְכַלּוֹתֵנוּ Shelo echad bilvad amad aleinu lechaloteinu For not only one enemy has risen against us to destroy us. אֶלָּא שֶׁבְּכָל דּוֹר וָדוֹר עוֹמְדִים עָלֵינוּ לְכַלּוֹתֵנוּ Ela shebechol dor vador omdim aleinu lechaloteinu But in every generation, enemies rise against us to destroy us. וְהַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא מַצִּילֵנוּ מִיָּדָם VeHaKadosh Baruch Hu matzileinu miyadam But the Holy One, blessed be He, delivers us from their hand. We continue to pray for the people of Israel and for the peace of Jerusalem 🕎 “Like flying birds, so the LORD of armies will protect Jerusalem. He will protect and save it; He will pass over and rescue it.” Isaiah 31:5

We remember October 7 🇮🇱 On this October 7, we remember the men, women, children and babies who were brutally murdered in the horrific terrorist attacks three years ago, and all those whose lives were shattered on that terrible day. There are ancient words that take on deeper meaning in times of tragedy. Six months after the massacre, we sang one of them on Habima Square in Tel Aviv together with @emanuel.roro and @shai_sol 🕎 Vehi She’amda has been sung by Jewish families at Passover for generations. Today, three years after October 7, these ancient words resonate once again: וְהִיא שֶׁעָמְדָה לַאֲבוֹתֵינוּ וְלָנוּ Vehi she’amda la’avoteinu velanu And this promise has sustained our fathers and us. שֶׁלֹּא אֶחָד בִּלְבָד עָמַד עָלֵינוּ לְכַלּוֹתֵנוּ Shelo echad bilvad amad aleinu lechaloteinu For not only one enemy has risen against us to destroy us. אֶלָּא שֶׁבְּכָל דּוֹר וָדוֹר עוֹמְדִים עָלֵינוּ לְכַלּוֹתֵנוּ Ela shebechol dor vador omdim aleinu lechaloteinu But in every generation, enemies rise against us to destroy us. וְהַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא מַצִּילֵנוּ מִיָּדָם VeHaKadosh Baruch Hu matzileinu miyadam But the Holy One, blessed be He, delivers us from their hand.

He will protect and save it; He will pass over and rescue it.” Isaiah 31:5

Still taking in this moment… 🇮🇱🕊️ At Awake Jerusalem, together with people from 59 nations, we sang the Priestly Blessing in Hebrew right here in Jerusalem. So powerful hearing these ancient words rising again from this city. “May the LORD bless you and keep you…” Numbers 6:24–26 What a night. 🔥
