The Little Girl Got Sick, And Her Father Sang For Her Refuah “V’Tihiyeh B’Ezri”
This new song, V’Tihiyeh B’Ezri of Meir Chertekov is different than most other singles that are released on a daily basis. Meir is not looking to become famous, and is not trying to become a major singer, but when a tragedy struck his family he found himself finding comfort only in his music and he is releasing as a result of it his first single. He also is beginning to perform as well.
“About three years ago my wife and I experienced a major catastrophe, when my daughter Malkah Bat Rachel Hodaya became extremely sick. This was like a signal straight from Hashem, and it felt like a rope had been thrown straight down to me to become closer to Him. I saw that R’ Nachman from Breslov teaches that every person has a moment in his life in which he is able to feel what exactly is his purpose in his life, and change his entire world for himself. That moment had come.”
“I went somewhere quiet and poured out my heart to Hashem, like R’ Nachman suggests, and when I got to the line in my Tefillah of “V’Tihiyeh B’ezri V’Toshieini U’Tezakeini Lefareis Sichasi Lefanecha B’Chol Yom V’Yom, V’es kol asher im levavi asicha lefanecha” – I simply screamed and cried it out. I cried from the walls of my heart to Hashem. Somehow, I felt like Shomayim was listening to my situation and the situation of my daughter, and thus I found myself singing this tune. A few days passed and the Niggun was pouring out of me from my heart and my mouth. There was something in it that wouldn’t leave me alone. That’s when I decided to share this with others, to give them that same comfort it gave to me through the advice of R’ Nachman.” Meir turned with his composition to arranger Ari Farkash who wrote the arrangement for the song, and Itzik Filmer wrote the vocal arrangement.
