Mizzi Israel - Kol Baya'ar (Voice In The Forest) | מיזי ישראל - קול ביער
Hope you enjoy this new track! This song has a very deep meaning. It is about the yearning of the Jewish people to come back to their father (G-d) and is written in the format of a young boy lost in a dark forest and the father praying for his sons return. I felt this parable was very relatable and felt the need to release this powerful message with an updated modern production to convey this message to the modern day people! It is said that both the text and the moving melody of this supplication were composed by the renowned righteous man Reb Arye Leib, one of the followers of the Baal Shem Tov. He was known as the Shpoler Zeide having lived in the city of Shpole in the Ukraine. He is remembered as a great exponent of Ahavat Yisroel, the his love for fellow Jews. This melody was chanted by the Shpoler Zaide before the midnight prayer bewailing the destruction of the Temple, "Tikun Chatzot." This soulful melody is a dialogue between the Almighty Father and His children, the people of Israel. The Father looks for His children in the Diaspora, Galut, and implores them to return home to the Holy Land. "Where have you been that you have forsaken Me?" He inquires of His children, "Dear children, please return home, I feel forlorn without you." The children's answer is "But, Father, how can we return when there is a guard blocking the door?"
