In this powerful episode, Shep Rosenman sits down with co-writer Leah Lesch to uncover the story behind “Bring Him Home”— a moving piece born from Psalm 126 in the shadow of October 7th. The episode is dedicated to the memory of Hersh Goldberg-Polin.

Leah and Shep reflect on how the song came to life, the emotional depth of Nettie Wolkind’s performance, and its heartfelt intention as a prayer for Hersh Goldberg-Polin and all the hostages to return home.

What follows is more than a conversation about music—it’s a journey through hope and heartbreak, memory and mourning. The episode delves into how songwriting becomes a form of healing, and how community, empathy, and ritual can carry us through even the deepest loss.

If you’ve ever wondered how art transforms grief into strength and sorrow into solidarity, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
