about

By Doni Zasloff and Eric Lindberg (Nefesh Mountain)

The duo Nefesh Mountain consists of wife and husband Doni Zasloff and Eric Lindberg. One day after the October 27, 2018 mass shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, they wrote “Tree of Life” as a way to “cope with the fear and sadness that we, just like all of you, are feeling. This is our offering of love and healing.” With their blessing Will created this a cappella version. We first offered it at CBH’s Yizkor memorial service on Yom Kippur nearly a year after the tragedy.

lyrics

O sweet Spirit, hear my prayer
Help these words heal someone out there
I am but a voice, just a cry in the air
But I sing, nonetheless, in this pain we share

O sweet friends, come and dry your eyes
And hold each other by this Tree of Life
I’m angry and tired of this great divide
But I sing, nonetheless, with love on our side

O sweet souls who feel broken now
We’ll heal together, somewhere, somehow
Time and again, we have been let down
But we sing, nonetheless, still whole and still proud
With love on our side, with love
O sweet Spirit, hear my prayer
Help these words heal someone out there
