It Takes a Village, People
We’re headed out for a little vacation, so the next week’s posts may be a bit more brief than usual, but hopefully you’ll find their subjects beautiful nonetheless.

Unless the Lord Builds the House
- Shira Choir
It continues to be a source of profound disappointment to me that I wasn’t born Jewish. Here’s a lot of the reason why. This is the New York-based Shira Chorus singing a spectacular new song, “Im Hashem Lo Yivneh Bayis,” at their leader’s son’s Bar Mitzvah. Absolute perfection.
Unless the Lord builds the house,
Im HaShem Lo Yivneh Bayit
The builders labor in vain.
Shav Amlu Bonav Bo
Unless the Lord watches over the city,
Im HaShem Lo Yishmor Ir
the guards stand watch in vain.
Shav Shakad Shomer
Indeed, he who watches over Israel
Hinei Hinei Lo Yanum
will neither slumber nor sleep.
Lo Yanum v’Lo Yishan
Lo Yanum v’Lo Yishan
