‎שכל המבקש רחמים על חברו והוא צריך לאותו דבר ,הוא נענה תחילה
Anyone who asks for mercy for his fellow and is himself in need of the same thing, he will be answered first.

We are ingrained with a deep concern for our sisters and brothers. We are raised to care deeply for our families, our nation, and humanity. We are incapable of turning a blind eye to the sorrow or suffering of others. Praying for others in their time of despair is a lesson we have learned long ago from our forefather Avraham, when he prayed for Avimelech’s health. G-d takes tremendous pride when we show empathy for our fellow humans, as we learn from when G-d rewarded Avraham for his compassion by bestowing the son that he and Sarah had prayed for, for so long.

Every Friday evening as we bring in shabbos and light the shabbos candles, women all over the world use this time to pray for their children. By joining the Vzakeini movement we are not only praying for our own families but rather we’re elevating this hour by including another couple who is trying desperately to start their family. There is a tremendous power of unity as we pray for our sisters separately in our own homes, and yet together at the same time, all over the world.

Ever since we were privileged to cover the first vzakeini song together, we have developed a strong bond not only of song, but of mutual support for each other. We cheer each other on and each pray for the other’s success. It was only natural for us to embrace this next project and cover Hold on Tight, the sequel to the first song. Recording and filming this project together felt like a conversation between two sisters bonded by soul and spirit.

We hope this song helps you internalize the immense power that comes each week when sisters all over the world pray for a fellow sisters’ deepest wishes. We urge you all to join us in the
Vzakeini movement, to experience a moment of intense care for your global family. We know that G-d sees this love.

- Love, Devorah and Bracha

Lyrics
In a room that feels empty
I stand here on my own
With my battered hopes and dreams

With countless tears and whispered prayers,
The life that i’m yearning for
It Always seems just out of reach


Imagined it so many times
My dream Vzakeini
A family of my own
Offered every tear I have
Done all there is to do
But i know im not in this alone

I know that it’s hard to keep waiting,
So i’ll be here with you- holding your hand
And together our cries vezakeni
Our tears will be carried right up to hashem

So let’s keep on waiting together ,
hoping together
For just one more day
Hold on tight for just a bit longer
Our cry our tefilos He won’t turn away

In a world that feels empty
We've languished in golus
With only our faith still aglow
our silent hopes and whispered prayers
Echoing painfully
The dream in our hearts
yet to grow

We've imagined it so many times
We've cried for moshiach
For that day, a home of our own
We’d offered every tear we have
Done all there is to do
But we know we're not waiting alone

I know that it’s hard to keep waiting,
So i’ll be here with you- holding your hand
And together our cries vezakeni
Our tears will be carried right up to hashem

So let’s keep on waiting together ,
hoping together
For just one more day
Hold on tight for just a bit longer
Our cry our tefilos He won’t turn away

Ve’af al pi….

Tatte it’s hard to keep waiting
But you’re right here with us
holding our hand
Yes together
our cries will be stronger
And pierce through the heavens
again, and again

If we keep on waiting together
Hoping together for just one more day
Til we’re all celebrating together
Moshiach’s arrival
The tears wiped away
Achake lo
