Cantor Josh and I recorded this outside at Hava Nashira 2022 in Rena Branson's session, where we recorded music to send to folks who are currently incarcerated. This tune is an original composed by Marni Loffman in late 2021, as a form of music medicine during a period of difficult emotions. This song is a prayer, a reminder, an affirmation and a protest. We remember that we are not solely defined by our external circumstances, that are context does not have the power to take our ability to heal from us, or our ability to find wholeness. A reminder that we have agency, power and the strength for healing, even in the simple act of getting through a single moment.

Thank you to Cantor Josh Breitzman from Beth Elohim for the harmonies, beautiful vocals and encouragement!

Lo yisa goy el goy cherev; lo yilmidu od milchama
לֹא יִשָּׂא גוֹי אֶל גוֹי חֶרֶב לֹא יִלְמְדוּ עוֹד מִלְחָמָה
Nation shall not lift sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore.
(B'ko​l Echad, pg 90)

Tear down the walls that keep us fighting, dividing and conquering
They cannot take our humanity
You're a part of me, sibling

Cease. Fire. Now.

Horizons

& when fear arises
& when grief arises 
& when rage arises
I lean in here

It moves on
My heart is strong
It moves on
Something else horizons

& when fear arises
& when grief arises
& when rage arises
I remain here

It moves on
My heart is strong
It moves on
Something new horizons

& when fear arises
& when grief arises
& when rage arises
I attune here

It moves on
My heart is strong
It moves on
Somewhere else horizons
