These words are beautiful for a Jewish bride to walk down to. And this tune by Aryeh Kunstler and Ekev is absolutely stunning. The music video is so simple that it is breathtaking. Watching the video and listening to these words can elevate your soul.
Music is powerful. King David is one of the most well known Jewish musicians. He played the harp, he wrote Psalms – He understood what music has the ability to do. Music can connect a person to G-d if it is pure and holy. What an amazing thing!
