Yesterday’s unfathomable rescue of the FlyDubai flight was nothing short of an open miracle.

With every odd against them, Hashem chose to save those passengers, moving every piece exactly where it needed to be. When you read the story, so much of it simply doesn’t make sense. It’s truly unbelievable.

Singing this song last night at Sultan’s Pool in Jerusalem, together with thousands of you, sent a chill through me.

No matter what a situation looks like, no matter how dire or bleak, even when it feels like there’s no possible way out, never forget: Hashem can do anything!!!

A number of years ago, I was singing at a wedding when a man came over to me and said, “You might not know me… my name is Eitz Chaim.”

I said, “Wait, your first name is Eitz and your last name is Chaim?”

He laughed. “No, no! My name is Tanchum Portnoy. I composed Eitz Chaim. That’s just what people know me by.”

I’ll never forget that conversation. We spoke about the mark he made on the Jewish music world, and how many people sing his composition.

Selichot at the Kotel, surrounded by the pure voices of tinokot shel beit rabban. Is there a more beautiful sound in the world?!
