We build something stronger when we build it together. Whether building the mishkan (tabernacle) in this week’s parashah, or the kehilla kedoshah, the sacred community that we all aim to create, having a friend to share the work with can mean everything. We are grateful to our food pantry teen volunteers for their sacred work and for joining Cantors Schwartz and Davis for this song.
This song is included in our recent album, Am Yisrael Chai: An October 7th Commemorative Album, available on all major platforms.
Featuring Cantor Azi Schwartz, Cantor Mira Davis, and PAS Teens
Lyrics/Music: Carole King
Arrangement by Jason Weisinger, commissioned by PAS Music Center
Music Director: David Enlow
Video Production and Editing: Terrell Simms
