Benny Friedman

Benzion Hakohen "Benny" Friedman (Hebrew: בנציון הכהן פרידמן) is an American Hasidic Jewish singer and a non-pulpit rabbi. Professionally trained in voice, he rose to prominence on the Orthodox pop scene with his first album in 2009. Singing mainly in Hebrew, Friedman tours extensively and also appears in music videos. He views his music as a shlichus (outreach) tool, with the goal of drawing Jews closer to Judaism. more »

I see him at the cheder ⁣
I see him all the time ⁣
And even when I leave him ⁣
Can't get him off my mind ⁣
אוי כי הם חיינו ⁣
Oy cuz it's a rebbe's life ⁣
The times that he's successful ⁣
The times I watch him fail ⁣
The learning and the struggle ⁣
The nachas and the pain ⁣
אוי כי הם חיינו ⁣
Oy cuz it's a rebbe's life ⁣
I've tried rewards and prizes ⁣
And the wisest of advisors ⁣
Just to find out what he needs ⁣
For Yankele ben Gittel ⁣
Let me say one more kappitel ⁣
Gonna pray that he'll succeed ⁣
Cuz it's a rebbe's life ⁣
We understand ⁣
We've got the future of the world in our hands ⁣
For tinokos shel bais rabban are the leaders tomorrow we'll see ⁣
Yes, it's a rebbe's life ⁣
We know every child ⁣
Has got a spark of something special inside ⁣
And the Torah we teach ⁣
Is a flame that will reach ⁣
Every heart and soul ⁣
For generations to be
⁣
So many years later ⁣
I've left it all behind ⁣
But Yankele in cheder ⁣
Will sometimes cross my mind ⁣
אוי כי הם חיינו ⁣
Oy cuz it's a rebbe's life ⁣
Then I attend a dinner ⁣
I meet the honoree ⁣
I say, "You look familiar" ⁣
And Yankel says "It's me!" ⁣
אוי כי הם חיינו ⁣
Oy cuz it's a rebbe's life⁣
My Yankel's dedicated ⁣
To assisting kids in cheder ⁣
For whom learning's really tough ⁣
He says "Rebbe I can guide 'em ⁣
Cuz I see the good inside 'em ⁣
And it's all because your love"
⁣
Cuz it's a rebbe's life ⁣
We understand ⁣
We've got the future of the world in our hands ⁣
For tinokos shel bais rabban are the leaders tomorrow we'll see
⁣
Yes, it's a rebbe's life ⁣
We know every child ⁣
Has got a spark of something special inside ⁣
And the Torah we teach ⁣
Is a flame that will reach ⁣
Every heart and soul ⁣
For generations to be ⁣
Cuz it's a rebbe's life ⁣
We understand ⁣
We've got the future of the world in our hands ⁣
For tinokos shel bais rabban are the leaders tomorrow we'll see ⁣
Yes, it's a rebbe's life ⁣
We know every child ⁣
Has got a spark of something special inside ⁣
And the Torah we teach ⁣
Is a flame that will reach ⁣
Every heart and soul ⁣
For generations to be ⁣
