In anticipation of the anniversary of Rabbi Elimelech of Lizhensk, the author of HaNoam Elimelech, Hasidic singer Sandy Dinkel is releasing a new hit - "The Graves of the Righteous.".
Sandy, who burst into the public consciousness as a hit maker who knows how to tap into the audience's precise taste, says: "The idea to sing about the 'graves of the righteous' was born when I visited the grave of the Tanna Rabbi Meir Baal HaNes in Tiberias. There, I had the thought of writing a song that would not deal with a specific righteous man, but with the entire concept - the graves of the righteous.".
""Later, while praying in the book 'Likkuti Tefilov', I came across the words of Rabbi Nathan of Breslov who writes: 'In the time of the Messiah we have no hope except through the righteous.' Based on these words, I wrote the line: 'In the time of the Messiah in the graves of the righteous the gates of the heart will open,' and I added the names of righteous people from different generations. Tannaim. The founders and luminaries of Hasidism, and the last ones whose resting places became centers of prayer.".
