Song Highlights The Rebbe’s Connection To Every Yid

In honor of Gimmel Tammuz, ULY presents a special song, “Rosh Bnei Yisroel,” based on the well-known Gimmel Tammuz letter highlighting the most important quality of the Rebbe, and the one most relevant for us to know, that he is the Rosh Bnei Yisroel.

By Anash.org reporter

In honor of Gimmel Tamuz, Tomchei Temimim is proud to present Rosh Bnei Yisroel.

“Rosh Bnei Yisroel” was originally produced as part of this year’s “Generation Seven” – the annual production, brought to life by the 7th & 8th graders of Lubavitcher Yeshiva.

The song was written, based on a famous letter the Rebbe wrote on Gimmel Tammuz תש”י, in which the Rebbe teaches us that the most important quality our Rebbe possesses, and the one most relevant for us to know, is that he is the Rosh Bnei Yisroel.

The Rebbe is our head, he is connected to every single one of us and ALL of our hashpo’os, gashmiyus and ruchniyus, come from and through him. 

This song is a powerful reminder that despite the physical concealment, the Rebbe’s connection to each and every one of us remains fully alive – the Rebbe lovingly awaits for us to connect, and to be able to shower us with brachos ad bli dai.

Sung to the tune Bnei Heichala, this single features moving solos and rich harmonies you are sure to enjoy.

Lyrics:

A scholar of great heights
Ba’al Middos, great advice
Mofsim, nissim, there to listen
Ready to give up his life

Yes, he is a Tzaddik who
Has Ruach hakodesh too
All of these titles are true
But here’s the crucial fact

The Rebbe’s more than that
Beyond all titles, one thing’s vital
Listen close, and I’ll explain
The essence of a Rebbe is inside the name

Rosh Bnei Yisroel
The Rebbe is the head
Of all Bnei Yisroel
Connects us to Hashem

Rosh Bnei Yisroel
Of every single Jew
Your Gashmius and Ruchnius
All flow through him to you

When happy times arise
Or dark clouds fill your skies
No need to guess, there’s one address
To share your laughs and cries

All that is on your mind
Anywhere anytime
From him, there’s nothing to hide
No matter who you are

No Yid is too far
Your joys and tears, the Rebbe cares
He waits to hear, wants you to share
Connected to the head, you have nothing to fear

Rosh Bnei Yisroel
Every Yid must know
You’re never disconnected
You’re never on your own

Rosh Bnei Yisroel
No matter what you do
This bond cannot be broken
The Rebbe’s here for you

Rosh Bnei Yisroel
Every Yid must know
You’re never disconnected
You’re never on your own

Rosh Bnei Yisroel
No matter what you do
This bond cannot be broken
The Rebbe’s here for you
