רבי רבי רבי איך וויל זיך מקשר זיין צו דיר
The lyrics to this song are
based on the Tefillah
of the Breslover Chasidim who
say before
every Tefillah.
הריני מקשר את עצמי עם ר' נחמן
בן פיגא*
The Steipler zt"l said
they don't really
mean it when saying it,
otherwise according
to the Nefesh Hachayim it
would be considered
Avodah Zarah Mamash.
*shortened version
So would the Steipler endorse the song? I don't think so.
ReplyDeleteThe singer Yehuda Green, who is behind the song, is from a Breslov background, by the way.
