Together as One

“Whoever will strive to rid himself of all baseless hatred and refrain from speaking in a derogatory way about others will have a share in the building of the Third Bais HaMikdash.”
— the Chofetz Chaim, ztz”l

Inspired by the teachings of the Chofetz Chaim, zt”l, the theme of this musical video explores the destructive power of negative words and attitude. We cannot display this gallery

15-year-old Bracha, has something to say about everything, and it’s usually critical or complaining. Her friends, bunkmates, counselors and even the preparations for the camp production are affected by her attitude. Thankfully, however, Hashem gives her a hit on the head–literally–and takes her on an extraordinary journey of teshuva through a musical dream. When she awakens, she realizes the pain her attitude has caused and quickly begins a wonderful process of amends!
