1.
If I am not for me, who will be? If I am for myself alone, what am I? And if not now, when?
2.
Everything we are is a gift. Everything have is given.
3.
There are four character traits among people. Some say, "mine is mine and yours is yours" (average, or some say, Sodom) "mine is yours and yours is mine" (peasant) "mine is yours and yours is yours" (saintly) "mine is mine and yours is mine" (scoundrel)
4.
Three Things 05:07
The world rests on three things: On Justice, On Truth, On Peace. As it is written, "With truth, justice, and peace Shall you judge in your gates" (Zechariah 8:16)
5.
Time is fleeting; now is eternal. Discipline yourself to attention, For the alternative is despair.
6.
The Skull 03:16
Our deeds fashion our destiny. Heaven and hell are in our own hands.
7.
Silence 04:01
There is nothing more becoming a person than silence; Not study, but doing mitzvot is the essence of virtue.
8.
Be the First 04:22
Be the first to extend greetings to every human being. Be a tail to lions rather than a head to foxes.

NYC-based Jazz Guitarist Amanda Monaco's latest album is music inspired by rabbinical texts from the 3rd century CE. A little bit jazz, a little bit metal, a little bit funky, with timeless lyrics in Hebrew and Aramaic.
