This here song, it’s called “Just One Shabbos,” you know. It’s a good one, makes you feel all warm inside. Heard it first time, I was just a little thing. Still love it to this day. It’s about this fella, you see, going to that big wall, the Western Wall, they call it.
It was Friday night, and this fella, he’d never been there before. First time ever! He’s got his stuff all packed up in one of them knapsacks. You know the kind, all strapped up tight? And his hair, oh boy, it was long and curly. He just stood there for a good long while, taking it all in. Musta been something, seeing that wall for the first time. Makes you think, don’t it?
- Shabbos, that’s what they call it.
- It’s like a special day, you know?
- A day for resting and being happy.
The song, it goes on about these other folks, dancing and singing. They were real happy, you could tell. Hearts full of love, that’s what the song says. Singing happy songs, thanking the one up above. You know, for showing them the way. For giving them this special day. A day to rest, the song says. A day to be joyful. Just one Shabbos, that’s all it takes.
This fella with the curly hair, he sees all this. He hears the music, sees the dancing. And it touches him, you know? Makes him feel something he ain’t never felt before. He was just there, watching. Didn’t know what to expect. Then, bam! It hit him right in the heart, I reckon.
This “Just One Shabbos” song, it’s about finding something special. Something you didn’t even know you were looking for. Like this fella, going to that wall. He wasn’t looking for nothing, but he found something big. Something important. That’s what I think, anyway.
And the singing! Oh, that singing. It just gets you, right here. Makes you wanna tap your foot, maybe even sing along. Even if you don’t know the words. It’s the feeling, you see. The feeling of being part of something bigger than yourself. That’s what this “Just One Shabbos” is all about. I reckon.
They were singing about being thankful. Thankful for that day, for Shabbos. For being able to rest and be happy. It’s a good lesson, ain’t it? To be thankful for what you got. Even if it ain’t much. This fella, he learned that lesson, I think. Standing there by that wall. He learned it good.
- Thankful for the little things.
- That’s what it’s all about.
- Resting and being happy.
- Shabbos, a day for that.
This song, “Just One Shabbos,” it’s been around a long time. Lots of folks know it. Little kids in school, they sing it. Grown-ups too. It’s one of them songs that just sticks with you. Like an old friend, always there when you need it. Reminds you of what’s important.
That’s why I like this song. It’s simple, you know? Not fancy. Just good, honest words and a pretty tune. And it makes you feel good. Makes you think about things. About being thankful, about resting, about finding something special. That’s a lot for one little song, ain’t it?
It says this fella, he was changed. Just one Shabbos. Just one time at that wall. He was different after that. He saw something, felt something. And it stayed with him. That’s the power of a good song, I reckon. It can change you. It can make you see things in a new way.
So, yeah, “Just One Shabbos.” That’s a good song. A real good song. It’s about that fella with the curly hair, and that wall, and that special day. And it’s about a whole lot more than that, too. It’s about life, I guess. And finding your place in it. And being thankful for what you got. That’s what I think, anyway. It’s a song that stays with you. A song to remember. Just like that special day, that Shabbos. A day to remember. Always.
