In English we know it as “Carol of the Bells,” but the melody arises from a Ukrainian folk tradition of songs welcoming the new year and summoning the forces of nature to meet human labor and bring prosperity. Do listen. I wrote about the history here:

It's important to share images like this right now: this photo is Rabbi Jeffrey Kamins and Bilal Rauf (special adviser at the Australian National Imams Council) at an interfaith vigil in Sydney for the Bondi victims. We can ban guns! We can fight antisemitism without defaulting to Islamophobia!

Rob Reiner was a good guy. He made a lot of movies about good guys, in worlds where not everyone was good and you didn’t have to be good. He made movies about people trying. He was angry, as many hopeful people are. He knew the world could be better and he wanted it to be. His death is devastating.

Let's take a moment and assess. Sabrina Carpenter, a US citizen, told the US government to not use her likeness or intellectual property to push their agenda. And the US government basically just told her to go fuck herself. From the official White House account. We live under fascist rule now.
