In 2022, Cantor Jacqueline Rafii was commissioned by Park Avenue Synagogue’s Cantor Azi Schwartz to compose a melody for "Vehi She'amda". What transpired was a lullaby inspired by her infant daughter, a promise of strength, hope, and resilience. Since October 7, it has become an anthem within the VBS community, dedicated to all the hostages, a reminder that the Jewish people can and will overcome the darkest moments. Earlier this year, Cantor Schwartz and Cantor Rafii joined together at Valley Beth Shalom to perform this duet together.
