Description

Listen to “Sh’nayim She’yoshvin” here (or on any streaming service) …

Every now and then, Ellen and Billy create something together. This piece was written in honor of their dear friends, Rabbi Les Bronstein and Cantor Benjie Schiller, on the occasion of their retirement. The text comes from Pirkei Avot 3:2 (English words by Ellen and Billy), celebrating Jewish learning and, really, any pursuit that is “for the sake of heaven” (that is, to better life and living for all). Les and Benjie have dedicated their lives to making the world a better place for all of us, regardless of the differences between us (differences which are really the treasures we are privileged to share with one another).

lyrics

Sh’nayim she’yosh-vin v’yesh bei-nei-hem
Yesh bei-nei-hem div-rei To-rah
Sh’nayim she’yosh-vin v’yesh bei-nei-hem
Yesh bei-nei-hem div-rei To-rah

Sh’chi-nah sh’ru-yah bei-nei-hem
Bei-nei-hem Sh’chi-nah
Sh’chi-nah sh’ru-yah bei-nei-hem
Bei-nei-hem Sh’chi-nah

Where Torah is shared, blessings abound
Heart and minds are opening
Sh’chi-nah is found
Where Torah is shared, blessings abound
Heart and minds are opening
Sh’chi-nah is found

Those who sit with timeless voices
Being challenged
Making choices
They bridge the generations with their love
And they link the worlds below with those above
