Rabbi Lazer Brody posted this video with one of Erez Levanon's songs along with a number of pictures. R' Brody created this video to honor Erez on his second Yohrtzeit which is coming up on the 7th of Adar. He was murdered by two Arabs, yemach shemam, while doing hisbodedus. After reading Rabbi Brody's posts about Erez almost two years ago, I bought Erez's CD from R' Brody, which I still enjoy listening to from time to time. The song in this video, Lev U'Mayan, is on the album is is really beautiful. Straight from the guts.

i had the zchut to learn at the same time with erez sz'l at machon meir. he was the zaddik that took on himself every morning to walk with a spoon through the dorms to wake us up for dawening. with this song "israel! israel! zon kdoishim! kumu la'awodat ha'bore!"
allways with a shy smile on his face.
hashem jikom et damo!
THIS SONG SOUND SO BEAUTIFUL, HOWEVER MY HEBREW ISN'T SO STRONG. CAN ANY OF THE READERS DO ME A FAVOR AND TRANSLATE THE WORDS. IT WOULD MEAN A LOT . THANKS
Okay, here's my best translation for the moment:
And there is is a stone standing in a forrest, and from the stone comes a spring. Everything has a heart. And even the world in general has a heart. And the heart of the world is a whole body with arms legs. And this forest with the stone and the spring stands at one end of the world. And the heart of the world stands at the other end of the world. And this heart standing before the spring desires greatly to come to that spring with a great longingly and the spring longs for it as well...
On the other side of the blue sea,
On the other side of line of blue
Above the wisdom of man,
Above the understanding of humanity
Flows in all veins
Breathing [life] into all limbs
It loves all creatures
It sees and doesn't weaken
Soo too the heart, the heart beats
The supernal heart is the heart
Don't compromise
Don't give up hope
You have such much
You have the fire
Do what you can
Do this with serenity
Because the supernal heart burns within you.
thanks. you are the man
