Sunday Schmooze w/ Rabbi Mendy: January 23, 2022 - 21 Shevat, 5782

Today we'll discuss: - Are you an ethical person? Really, Are you?! - Have you ever had a bout of fame? - The Spice and spirit award! All that and more, in an hour (or so)!! - Lyrics of the Neshama'le song: Come with me, little Neshama'leh (little soul) And let me hold you in my hand And we'll fly away, you and I together To a place down on the land Come with me, little Neshama'le Don't shy away Do as you're told There's a little child waiting to be born today You're to be his spark, his soul But dear Malach'l (angel), no! I don't want to go! There is so much much pain and evil Upon the earth below Let me stay here up in heaven where it's safe and I'll be pure Please don't make me go away Can't you see I'm so afraid? Come with me, little Neshama'le It's time you faced your destiny And as we fly beneath the clouds now, I will show you There is so much you can be Yes, dear Malach'l, I can see kedusha (holiness) over there There's someone learning Torah There's another deep in prayer I will stay here if you answer me It's all I need to know You must promise me, my dear friend That I, too, will be like them Come with me, little Neshama'le Oh, it's a task that I must do As I tap you on the lip, you will forget me You're on your own It's up to you Come with me, little Neshama'le And let me hold you in my hand And we'll fly away, you and I together To a place above the land But dear Malach'l, no! I don't want to go! I'm not ready to go with you Where you take me I don't know Let me stay right where I am There's so much more I need to do Please don't make me go away Can't you see I'm so afraid
