Watch: Nachman Shiner, Student of the Esteemed Rabbi Eliezer Berland

"Look down from heaven and see; sing out, O nations, His people," sings Nachman Scheiner for R' Aharon Benita, Hy"d, drawing tears from the eyes of the listeners. Nachman Scheiner, who was the chavruta for Gemara study with the late R' Aharon, gathered all the pain and bereavement and transformed them into a moving melody.

After R' Aharon, z"l, was murdered before the eyes of his wife and children on Shabbat Chol Hamoed Sukkot and died a holy death, I was broken; I could not stop thinking about him. Slowly, the melody of the song began to take shape within me. "The melody descended from the longing, the pain, and the vision of the end of days," explains Scheiner. "When I played the sketch of the niggun to family members whose loved ones were murdered, and to soldiers at outposts in Hebron who had lost friends in military operations, I did not see a single eye that remained dry. The soldiers told me: 'A niggun like this gives us strength of soul and spiritual elevation, to understand the dimension beyond tragedy and loss,' and they asked me to play it for them again and again.

Yasher koach, R' Nachman Scheiner.

May it be the will of Hashem that all the thoughts of teshuvah (repentance) born from hearing this song stand in the merit of the soul of the holy R' Aharon Benita, Hy"d.
