This time we beat them to it. They are talking about packing the court, but we got the jump on them this time.
While the press seems to be lauding David Dinkins as the first and only black mayor of NYC, those who remember the riots/pogrom of 1991 when Dinkins let the natives "vent" for a few days, destroying life and property in Crown Heights, have no such praise.
Thankfully, Mayor Rudolf Giuliani unseated him shortly thereafter.
A new beautiful sound. Following up on his debut album, Joey has released a new album full of hartzigeh niggunim. Down to earth - yet flying high in the shamayim!
People are very Machmir about bugs. So why not wear a mask, which will prevent bugs from being accidentally swallowed while walking, running or bicycle riding?
If everyone wears a mask for 2 weeks, this virus will be gone.
Go ahead and be Machmir!
On August 9th, President Trump was hosted by the Deal community for a fundraiser.
Deal native and singer Yaakov Shwekey was supposed to sing a song for the president, but apparently it got scrapped due to timing contraints.
Yisroel Besser updated the lyrics of Shwekey's hit We are a Miracle and retitled it We are America.
Below are lyrics for the before and after, along with a video of the song meant for Trump being sung in a camp.
New Lyrics
A nation so diverse,
Yet united at its core,
Freedom opportunity
Allowing us to soar,
Its been four great years
Four GREAT years
And you know don’t you really know
You’ve been heaven-sent, Mr President
To stand strong,
The glory of our history,
Our flag its flying high,
The promise of our future,
We raise our voices high
Its been four great years
Four GREAT years
And you know don’t you really know
You’ve been heaven-sent, Mr President
To stand strong,
We love America
We love America
May Gd, hear our prayer, sing it loud and clear
Cause we love America,
–
It doesn’t matter where,
and it doesn’t matter when,
You’ve got this country in your heart
To make it great again,
Give us four more years
Four MORE years
Cause you know don’t you really know
You’ve been heaven-sent, Mr President
To stand strong,
–
We love America
We love America
May Gd, hear our prayer, sing it loud and clear
Cause we love America,
Every day you fight a battle,
On the news they try to hide,
Your victories, your accomplishments,
The way you lead with pride
But truth is always stronger, so join us as we sing our song…
We love America
Old Lyrics
A nation in the desert
We started out as slaves
Made it to the motherland,
And then came the Crusades
It's been so many years
Crying so many tears
Don't you know, don't you really know?
We are pushed to the ground
Through our faith we are found
Standing strong
The Spanish inquisition ...wanted us to bow But our backs aint gonna bend
Never then, and never now
It's been so many years
Crying so many tears
Don't you know, don't you really know?
We are pushed to the ground
Through our faith we are found
Standing strong
We are a miracle
We are a miracle
We were chosen with love
And embraced from above
We are a miracle
Extermination was the plan
When the devil was a man Ohhh ohhh
But the few who carried on
Live for millions who are gone
It's been so many years crying so…
