V'zakeini
A knockout music video to promote Bonei Olam, an organization that helps families fulfill their greatest wish to have children.
Vezakeini, a Song for the Children. It’s a prayer of passion. Of feeling. And of yearning. Vezakeini. A woman stands in front of the flickering candles on erev shabbos, slowly reciting the words, one by one, a prayer from her heart. For her children. For children she hasn’t merited yet, as she yearns to raise progeny of her own. Or for the children she’s been blessed with, beseeching Hashem that they grow in the way of Torah. This special prayer, recited every Friday evening across the globe, unites women from across the Jewish world, bringing together mothers and mothers-to-be iy”h, in special harmony.
Celebrating this unity, Bonei Olam reached out to the best and brightest in the field of Jewish music to produce a song that would depict the special feelings of Vezakeini. Watch, listen, and be inspired.

As I stand in candlelight
With my hands upon my eyes
There's a passion in my prayers
That rends the skies
For a mother's tears can shatter
Every gate that bars the way
All the heavens will echo those words that mothers say
וזכני וזכני
Take my children by the hand
Help them walk along Your way
May they never go astray
May they know You
As I know You
Oh, Hashem , accept my plea
Give me children who'll give nachas
To You and to me
וזכני
As I stand in candlelight
While my home is dark and still
There's a void inside my heart
I long to fill
Will I ever be mother
Will that blessing come my way
Will I stand by the candles
With gratitude and pray
וזכני וזכני
Take my children by the hand
Help them walk along Your way
May they never go astray
May they know You
As I know You
Oh, Hashem , accept my plea
Give me children who'll give nachas
To You and to me
וזכני
וזכני וזכני
יעדער איינער וויל דאס זעהן
בעטן מיר ביי דיר אצינד
נחת פון א יידיש/יעדע קינד
זרעא חיא וקיימא
און מ'לאזט א טרער דערצו
יעדער משפחה מיט די ברכה
וזכני
