"In the joyous spirit of the both hebrew months of Adar (we get TWO this leap year), I offer you TWO songs! The first one, from my current album, "Reach Out" and , in honor of the 10th anniversary of it's release, a Purim song from my "Turn It Around" album, released on Purim of 1998! Both have great meaning for us now and always, so go ahead... Dance! No one's looking." -- Gershon

Reach Out
from the album, "Reach Out" (2007)
(Commentary from CD booklet written by Gavriel Sanders)
Each of us passes through troubled times in our journey to become who we are. Sometimes the person with a back turned to us is really saying “I’m here. I’m hurting. See me.” Remember a time when you were searching and felt far away, then reach out with your own story that says “I understand. I’ve been there, too.” Saving a life can be a handshake away.

V'Nahafoch Hu
from the album, "Turn It Around " (1998)
Composed by Yitzy Bald
"V'nahafoch hu asher yishletu hayehudim, hemah besoneihem." "And it was inverted, as the Jews ruled over their enemies" (Esther 9:1). As Haman's plot to kill the our people was foiled, the message is that we have the power to turn things around. We can defeat our enemies, change our lives, turn tragedy into knowledge and experience and to make life better for ourselves and those around us.
