Bentzi Marcus and Rabbi Ruvi New present:
V’atoh Tetzaveh – The Faithful Shepherd
After their highly successful collaborative Album – Storm the World (2017) which rose to #7 in the world on the iTunes World Music Charts, Bentzi Marcus and Rabbi Ruvi New have joined forces again to release “V’ato Tetzaveh”- “The Faithful Shepherd”, based on the title of Maamer- Chassidic discourse. The song is being released to coincide with the 30th Anniversary of Gimmel Tammuz -the Rebbe’s Yartzeit.
“ Considering the content and messaging of the Maamer and the timeliness of the Rebbe’s personal distribution of it on Purim Koton 5752, (just days before he suffered a stroke on 27 Adar 1), many Chassidim consider the Ma’amer V’ato Tetzaveh, to be the Rebbe’s spiritual will.” explains Rabbi New.
“There are a lot of profound, powerful and prescient ideas in the Maamer, that are impossible to capture in a single song, so I chose to focus on two: 1. How our connection to the Rebbe empowers us to find our pure inner faith when we’re feeling crushed. 2. Our connection to the Rebbe reveals the essentiality of each individual as expressed through our individuality.”
“Many Chassidim, learn the Ma’amer each year on Gimmel Tammuz and I hope that in some way, this song will encourage people to learn it, be inspired by it, and feel the essential connection we all share with the Rebbe – the faithful shepherd of Klal Yisroel.”
The song is available on: YouTube, iTunes, Apple Music, Spotify, Google Play

My dearest child, I am Your G-D
And I’ve something to share
About those times, when you may think
That I’m not really there
There’s a little spark planted deep
in the soul of every Jew
the purest oil of hope and faith
That will always see you through
If the world is dark, your feeling crushed
Your leader is your guide
to light that fire of sacred oil
above the darkness, you will rise
Chorus
V’atah Tetzaveh
And you are always there
When we cried and we were crushed
You showed us how to trust
How to find the faith inside of me
Allowing me to see
That even when He’s hiding
Hashem cares and He is guiding
all along
Oh Hashem, I am Your child
And I’ve something to share
We’ve come this far, yet still we are
in an exile, we can’t bear
We’ve never felt so alone
as we defend our home
We look to you, ignite the spark
we cry from the depths of our soul
the world is dark, we’re feeling crushed
We’re turning to your guide
to light that fire of sacred oil
above the darkness, we will rise
CHORUS
V’atah Tetzaveh
And you are always there
When we cried and we were crushed
You taught us how to trust
How to find the faith inside of me
Allowing me to see
That even when He’s hiding
Hashem cares and He is guiding
all along
He’s guiding me all along
Bridge
Your the shepherd of our faith
you guide us night and day
Through you, we connect
it’s you who protects
no, we’ll never go astray
‘cause I know that every part of me
matters so essentially
you show me my core,
how I can do more
to make Moshiach a reality
V’atah Tetzaveh
And you are always there
When we cried and we were crushed
You showed us how to trust
How to find the faith inside of me
Allowing me to see
That even when He’s hiding
Hashem cares and He is guiding
all along
