here's a neat one with an interesting
background both the words and the tune
have a little bit of background
let's first let's talk about the words
because the words are actually older
than the song yeah the words go back to
an old liturgical poet a Sephardic poet
rebus royal Ned Jarrah who lived in
sauce he was there at the same time
concurrently with the artists al w
Lauria and he actually was very much
influenced by loriana Kabbalah became a
Kabbalist then there was a program they
he and his family they moved to Damascus
apparently that was a safer neighborhood
at the time and then he ended up
interestingly in Gaza and that's where
he is buried he's buried in Gaza he was
the love chief rabbi of Gaza Wow yeah so
he composed many people too many
liturgical poems which are the basis of
many Shabbos murals sure kuribon olam
so these are his words now the tune is a
little bit more recent the tune goes
back about 120 years ago and it was
brought to Lubavitch right after the
passing of the rabbi ma - and it was
brought by a hostage from Quran who was
a descendant of rabbits in Minooka rahu
number rabbit amino hoorah who was the
daughter of the middle Arab and she
lived in her own she's buried there in
Quran so her grandson rubbish near Zaman
Slonim he he came back to Lubavitch and
then he returned to jarrett's or later
but he brought with him some tunes from
from air to throw as we mentioned the
reached Lubavitch right at a sort
of a crucial pivotal time right after
the fourth Reba that aibum a - was Miss
taluk after his passing and his sons

grieving for their for their father and
it was a favorite one of their
better shop so R in the first stanza

the story of David and Goliath that dove
his older brother Eliav says to him what
are you doing here fighting you're the
Shepherd who's that you've abandoned the
mapa - yeah Natasha Tamar that sign
who's
pay attention to the the few sheep so
that's phrase really brought out a
feeling of yearning very the Shepherd
and the his loving guidance yeah the
feeder could have also mentioned
miniatura stuff Shinji mo that there's a
double meaning that he heard from his
father from the rabbit ashab as well
Methuen mat is like the atom at coal who
I mean you are the mad mad sometimes

Nations but actually there's a double
meaning which is your humble you make
yourself small which is actually higher
