When merged
within the singsong chant
of a chassidic melody,
the congregant’s souls become one
for a brief moment, encapsulated
by the deveykus (connection)
to G-d that is fostered
by the unity.

The sway
of the congregants
while davening (praying),
like flickering flames on candles,
reaching toward heaven,
assist the soul’s yearning
for deveykus (connection).
