How To Save A Life

"תנו להם להזדקן" (“Let Them Grow Old”) is a Hebrew symphonic anthem for peace and humanity. It carries a simple yet powerful message — that every child deserves to grow old, to laugh, to love, and to live in a world free from hatred and war.
Set against the emotional pulse of a people yearning for peace, this song bridges generations and languages. It is both a prayer and a promise — that life, not conflict, should define our future.
This piece is the Hebrew companion to the Pashto and English versions, symbolizing unity between cultures that share the same longing: No more wars. No more blood. Let our children grow old.
— Dr. Elliot Lach

Let Them Grow Old              תנו להם להזדקן

A joyful klezmer romp straight from La Costa Avenue, Carlsbad!
When the Rabbi brewed his first white beer with wheat mash and a hint of passion fruit, he didn’t expect it to make him shout “Oy Vey’s Mier!” — but that’s exactly how this tune was born.

Clarinet, fiddle, tuba, and accordion swirl together in a spirited hora celebrating life’s small mishaps, big laughter, and the art of turning a kvetch into a toast.
A little chutzpah, a lotta joy, and one unforgettable geeb ah schmeck later… the Rabbi had a hit — and a new beer!

“It makes you shout Oy Vey’s Mier — but that’s what I’ll call the beer!”

Perfect for dancing, laughing, or raising a glass with friends — Oy Vey’s Beer is the sound of celebration, brewed with passion, wit, and heart.

This lighthearted children’s song helps young listeners recognize and manage their feelings in a positive way. By turning whining into music, “Are We There Yet, Dad?” by Dr. Elliot Lach teaches kids that emotions are okay—and that humor, patience, and love make the journey fun for everyone.

‎“چیاکانم دەزانن” (The Mountains Remember Me) is a Kurdish symphonic folk ballad written by Dr. Elliot Lach — a heartfelt song about exile, memory, and the unbreakable bond with one’s homeland.

The Mountains Remember Me (Kurdish, Sorani)

A warm, funny, and heartfelt tribute to parenthood — from the sterilized pacifier days of the first baby to the relaxed “five-second rule” attitude of the third. The Binky Fell (And That’s Okay) captures how parents evolve from anxious perfection to seasoned calm, realizing that love matters far more than spotless floors. With acoustic guitar strums, a sunny folk-pop rhythm, and humor that every parent will recognize, this song celebrates life’s beautiful messes and the wisdom that comes with letting go (of both the the binky and the stress).

Language of the Mountains by Dr. Elliot Lach is a heartfelt Pashto song celebrating love for the mother tongue — Pashto — flowing like rivers and echoing through the mountains. It honors cultural pride, roots, and the unbroken voice of the Pashtun soul.

“The World Is in Front of Me” (世界在我眼前) by Dr. Elliot Lach is a Mandarin pop ballad that celebrates the universal dream of progress, perseverance, and fulfillment. It is a song about turning effort into reality—about walking step by step on the real road beneath our feet rather than chasing a distant star. While many speak of the “American Dream,” this song reminds us that ambition and achievement belong to all people, everywhere.

“Miracle of Mending” is a reflection on the aches, pains, and blessings of growing older. With wit and gentle gratitude, Dr. Elliot Lach tells of life’s creaky joints, kidney stones, and frozen shoulders—not as curses, but as proof that the body still heals and endures. A warm blend of folk and Americana, this song turns life’s little miseries into a hymn of resilience, humor, and faith.

“Someone to Save a Life” by Dr. Lach was inspired by moments of deep sadness, by illness that feels like captivity, and by the waiting that comes when help seems far away. The song quietly echoes the question from Psalm 121 — “I lift my eyes to the hills; from where comes my help?” — yet it remains universal, written for anyone who’s ever felt trapped, unseen, or helpless, still holding on for a glimmer of hope and light.
