Lyrics by Lisa Silver
Behind the Song:
Written for the Pride Spirituality service at Congregation Micah, the song is based on the Hebrew phrase “b’tzelem Elohim” – in the image of G-d. The imageof G-d doesn’t refer to a mirror reflection, but the 3 important human qualities: each of us has a divine spark, we are all created equal and each person has worth.
Zochreinu
