The worlds first and only Chasidic American Folk band, Rogers Park, have released “Golden Crown” – the first song and video off their their debut album which is due in stores later this year.
The title of the song is a reference to when the Jewish people declared at Mattan Torah “Naaseh V’Nishmah” – we will do, then we will hear. First we commit to doing, then we will listen and find the meaning. In return, every Jewish person was gifted 2 golden crowns.
Mattan Torah is likened to the marriage between Hashem and the Jewish people. It is also the model for all future marriages and relationships. The foundation of the relationship is commitment. Once there is commitment, it can allow for love and growth to happen. Even if there may be bumps along the way, the commitment keeps the relationship strong.
This theme is found in Elul when we begin to focus on Teshuvah – return. We turn to Hashem and ask him please help us return to who we really are! Our relationship is based on the commitment we made. We ask for Him, in turn, to look past any possible misdeeds and accept us based on that essential connection we have.
Kesivah Vachasimah Tovah!
