Hineni – Boruch Sholom | (Live @ Hatzalah-Thon 2020)

Hineni - הנני
I dedicate this song to my great grandfather Avrohom, who came to America in 1907 at the peak of the Industrial Revolution. He was determined to be close to Hashem and remained absolutely committed to Judaism. This meant keeping his beard and not desecrating shabbos. Back then, such circumstances meant financial suicide. But avrohom had a childlike faith and like his forefather Avrohom Avinu.
He said ”״הנני!

('זָכוֹר אֶת יוֹם הַשַּׁבָּת לְקַדְּשׁוֹ (שמות כ
(וְלֹ֣א תַשְׁחִ֔ית אֵ֖ת פְּאַ֥ת זְקָנֶֽךָ (ויקרא יט כז
