Ain Booni
אין בנו מעשים
Nothing but Your Kindness
"Ein booni maasim", "We have no merits." Generally associated with
gravity and brokenness, these painful words have classically been set
to slow, almost mournful melodies. This special track offers a fresh
approach. While there certainly remains a tinge of sadness and regret
laced into the verse ("Ain booni, ain booni - oyyy!"), these emotions are
reframed by the hope, positivity, and comfort present whenever a Jew
opens up to Hashem with authenticity and sincerity. In this shining
moment of transparency to our Source, we realize that while we may be
devoid of merits, we are ever supported by Hashem whose closeness is
experienced most intensely by the brokenhearted. Set to a pressing beat
that implies an almost urgent sense of determination, Ein Booni
encapsulates a uniquely Jewish emotion, "Hazorim b'dimah, b'rinah" - a
delicate blend of broken heartedness and elation. By ourselves, we
couldn't ever dream of making it. But with Hashem's kindness
supporting us along the way, there is nothing we can't accomplish as
we march together into the dawn of a brighter future!
