Now playing...

	K'Ayol Tarog
As the hart pines forth over brooks of water, my soul longs for You, 0 L-rd. My soul thirsts for the Living G-d. When will I come and appear before the L-rd? (Tehillim 42:2,3) The third Chabad Rebbe would break out into this heartrending tune when he recited these words of King David in Psalms. As a deer cannot live without water the soul cannot live without constant attachment to G-d. The intensity of the first notes reveals the profound spiritual yearning of the soul still distant from the object of its desire, the union with G-d.
