Carolyn tells the story of the song that accompanies the dance "Ashreinu"
The Story Behind the Song "ASHREINU"
In the fall of 1944, in the Auschwitz concentration camp, a group of 50 Hungarian Jewish boys under the age of 18 had been selected for the gas chambers. They had been told they were to take showers, but this was later in concentration camp history, and the boys knew the truth.
Inside the bathhouse, one boy shouted out, “Brothers! Today is the day of Simchat Torah! Before we die, let us celebrate Simchat Torah one last time! We don’t have a Torah Scroll to dance with, so let us all dance with God Himself—Who is surely here among us—before we return our souls to Him.”
50 young voices raised in song, and 50 pairs of feet stamped in joy before the L-rd:
Ashreinu mah tov chelkeinu u’ma nayim goraleinu u’mah yafah yerushateinu (How fortunate we are and how wonderful is our portion and how beautiful is our heritage.)
The commandant came and was infuriated. One boy told him, “leaving a world where Nazi beasts reign is a cause for celebration.” To teach them a lesson, the commandant had them all pulled out and put in a holding block overnight, telling them he planned to torture them the next day.
The next morning a high-ranking Nazi officer arrived, needing to conscript a large number of workers. He saw the group of boys and ordered them along with several hundred other inmates, to be transferred to his work camp. Survivors of Auschwitz report that all 50 boys survived the war.ASHREINU
"Fortunate Us"
Composed by Reb Aharon Charitonov
Sung by Avraham Fried
How fortunate are we, How good is our portion,
And how pleasant our destiny, How beautiful is our inheritance.

Psalms of Praise
by Billy WhitmanWith every breath we’ll praise the Lord,
Making melody, we’ll praise the Lord,
With all your heart, sing to the Lord,
With songs of praise, lift up the Lord.
Always giving thanks to Abba God above,
In Mashiach, He poured out all His love,
Build each other up with psalms of praise,
Yeshua the Messiah, Make Him your desire,
All consuming fire is He.To see the video performance of the ladies dancing Sheleg Al Iri
