Habib Galbi (“Love Of My Heart”) – The lyrics are actually in Judeo-Arabic, but some of the words are recognizable due to their similarity to Hebrew; for example, “eyni” which is Arabic for the Hebrew “eynai” (my eyes). This is actually a traditional song done in Reggae style, with some American Soul music influences.

This is another example of modern Israeli pop music which melds Middle Eastern and Western influences. Learn More.

Contributed by: Laura Naide . Living on a Prayer by Bon Jovi. Keyboardist David Bryan is Jewish. Also this: https://forward.com/culture/361787/the-secret-jewish-history-of-bon-jovi/.

This iconic anthem is about hope, perseverance, and faith in uncertain times.

Omer tie-in: The Omer is a time of spiritual refinement in the wilderness—we’re halfway there in a journey toward revelation at Sinai. Lyric reflection: “Take my hand, we’ll make it, I swear.” Could also explore themes of bitachon (trust) and communal support in growth.

Editor’s note: per Laura’s genius suggestion, I’ve put this song at the Omer’s half-way point. Thanks Laura!
