"W

hen I was a bochur in Yeshivas Toras Moshe in Yerushalayim, we sang Rabbi Shmuel Brazil’s ‘Kavei el Hashem’ from the first Regesh tape at our Elul Oneg Shabbos. We used to sing it kumzitz style, 20 or 25 rounds. That song still takes me back there and always helps me to get into the Elul mode. Another beautiful song for this time of year is Abie Rotenberg’s ‘Shema Koleinu’ from Dveykus IV.”
