Hanukkah-The Lesson of the Flame

NYC Singer-songwriter Gedalya Folk Rock Rabbi reflects on Hanukkah with his song, The Lesson of the Flame.

Folk-rock singer-songwriter Gedalya released “The Lesson of the Flame,” a musical reflection of the need for positive spirituality during difficult situations. 

“Finding ways to get through hardship is central to spirituality,” Gedalya said. “And I wanted this song to reflect the powerful combination of faith and positivity. 

“It’s my first time writing a holiday song,” he said. “Even though I wrote this song with the holiday season in mind, it’s about much more than just the annual celebration, this song speaks directly to the power of positivity that is within all of us." 

While the song reflects Gedalya’s faith, he said its spiritual message is universal. 

“I wanted ‘The Lesson of the Flame’ to speak directly to the listener’s soul,” he said. “But the message of the song is not inherent to a particular faith; rather it speaks to a state of being. It’s a frame of mind that brings light to the dark.

When we light the Chanukah menorah there is a lesson we can contemplate and remember.

When we light the Chanukah menorah there is a lesson we can contemplate and remember. The Jewish men who fought against the Greeks in those times gave their all to see through the lies of the surrounding Greek philosophy and preserve the truth of the Holy Torah. Because of their self-sacrifice they merited a miracle, who's purpose was to reveal to them that G-d recognized their efforts and because of it they were given divine assistance. Future generations now have this lesson inside of us that even in the darkest of times we can also receive divine assistance when we put in our effort to see through the lies around us and seek to find the truth.

Lyrics 

Sacrifice and dedication saved us from assimilation  
Went to war with a stronger nation and saw heavenly salvation 

The lesson of the flame has always been the same truth never dies it’s always inside you  
When you feel you don’t have the might the lesson of the flame will get you through the night 

Now’s the time to bond with tradition, take a moment regenerate your mission 
There’s a place in your disposition that’s awaiting a transition  

The lesson of the flame has always been the same truth never dies it’s always inside you  
When you feel you don’t have the might the lesson of the flame will get you through the night  

There’s a place inside beyond space and time you can only find by the candlelight  

Don’t you know it’s the general condition all exposed to the airs of wrong ambition 
So light the lamp and with some contemplation let the candle be your inspiration 

The lesson of the flame has always been the same truth never dies it’s always inside you  
When you feel you don’t have the might the lesson of the flame will get you through the night  
The lesson of the flame has always been the same find it in your heart and put it in your brain 
When the night conceals the day a little bit of light can push a lot of dark away
