about

Concepts behind 'The Four Questions' by Zohar's Nigun (interview with Daniel Weltlinger, September 2012):

If ever there was a traditional Jewish song that sums up so much of what could be done to rectify inter communal strife, it is this song. The notion to sit (not stand above, but to be on the same eye level and sit which is a mark of humility) as brothers together - which is of course an analogy for all human beings - means that we are all as one. No one human being is logically better than the other, we are all the same. And how beautiful it is when we can sit together - yachad - not separate. This for me personally is a really deep concept, and it hurts me very much because it is such a simple and kind concept that a lot of people don't cherish. The song goes through all the keys very deliberately, and this is a an analogy for all human beings being connected, for the stars begin aligned and connected, for music and harmony and sound and time and space being connected, and for a simple yearning for mankind to realise that everything is connected, and that we are all passing dust in space and time..

lyrics

English:

How good and pleasant it is as brothers (& sisters) to sit together

How good and pleasant it is
For brothers (& sisters) to sit together.


Hebrew:

Hineh ma tov uma na'im
Shevet achim gam yachad.

הִנֵּה מַה טּוֹב וּמַה נָעִים שֶבֶת אַחִים גַם יָחַד
