STEP ONE: SANHEDRIN — A MUSICAL CALL TO REDEMPTION

The Sanhedrin Initiative Releases a 26-Track Playlist of Spiritual Awakening, Torah Vision, and Preparation for Moshiach

For Immediate Release

Golan Heights, Israel

In an age when the world feels increasingly fractured and uncertain, a new sound has emerged from the hills of the Golan—one that blends prayer, prophecy, and purpose. The Sanhedrin Initiative has released Step One: Sanhedrin, a groundbreaking 26-track musical journey designed to uplift the heart, awaken the soul, and strengthen the global movement toward justice, unity, and redemption.

More than a playlist, this is a spiritual project—a form of modern-day piyyut, a devotional soundtrack for a generation seeking direction. It is over an hour of continuous, seamless music, crafted to be played while driving, working, studying, or reflecting on the mission of preparing the world for the return of Torah justice.

The project’s creator, Sanhedrin Advisor Rabbi Yosef Edery, describes it simply: “You can’t sell a cry for Redemption.”

And so, the entire playlist has been released free to the world.

I. A New Sound for an Ancient Mission

The Sanhedrin is not merely an institution of judges—it is the heart of Torah order, the living embodiment of justice and truth. Rambam writes in Hilchot Sanhedrin (1:1) that the Sanhedrin is the root from which all Torah rulings flow. When it stands, the nation becomes aligned; when it is absent, confusion multiplies.

Music has always been part of Israel’s spiritual process. When the prophets received visions, when the Leviim sang in the Temple, when King David composed Tehillim—song was the bridge between heaven and earth. The Zohar teaches that sound awakens rachamim, divine mercy, and brings the heart of a person closer to the heart of the Creator.

This playlist is built on that understanding.

Every track is a spiritual tool—some designed to uplift, some to ignite strength, some to awaken memory, and some to inspire joy. Together, they form a narrative of redemption, from good deeds to divine justice, from defeating Amalek to the resurrection of the Sanhedrin, from ancient giants to the future restoration of unity among all humanity.

II. The Structure of the Playlist: A Journey of the Soul

This 26-song project is not random—it is architectural.

It follows the structure of redemption as laid out in Torah and the writings of Chazal.

1. Four Songs: “Exile’s End” — Good Deeds as the Foundation

The journey begins with four tracks about kindness, mitzvot, and the ripple effect of good deeds. This echoes the teaching of Pirkei Avot (1:2): “The world stands on Torah, on service, and on acts of kindness.”

Good deeds are the starting point of geulah.

They are the cracks in the armor of exile; the sparks of light that break through spiritual darkness.

2. Four Songs: “Order to Redemption” — The Rhythm of Divine Process

Two slow, two intense.

This mirrors how redemption unfolds:

● Sometimes in gentle steps● Sometimes in sudden leaps

The Midrash (Shemot Rabbah 15) describes redemption as “blossoming little by little… and then suddenly.” These tracks follow that prophetic rhythm.

3. Four Songs: “The Sanhedrin Creed” — Justice Reborn

Justice is not a system of punishment.

It is the harmony of divine law applied with wisdom.

The Sanhedrin Creed songs restore that vision. Their themes echo the Rambam: repentance, clarity, truth, compassion, courage, and the responsibility of leadership. They remind the listener that a true judge must be “wise, beloved, humble, and fearless except before Hashem” (Hilchot Sanhedrin 2:7).

4. Two Songs: “Wings of Zion” — Hope, Return, and Identity

These tracks awaken the longing for return—physical, emotional, and spiritual. Based on verses in Isaiah and Zohar, they express that Zion is not a dream of geography but a state of connection with Hashem’s presence.

5. Two Songs: “Remember Amalek” — Erasing the Force of Disunity

The Torah commands us to remember Amalek and erase its influence—not out of hatred, but because Amalek represents the spiritual force that cools faith, spreads doubt, and disrupts unity.

Two tracks confront this force head-on, giving strength, resolve, and clarity.They remind us that the battle against Amalek is the battle for the Jewish future.

6. Two Songs: “Return of the Sanhedrin” — A Vision of Renewal

These songs declare what many feel: the world is ready—not politically but spiritually—for a return to Torah-based justice. Not coercive, not nationalist, but universal, ethical, and divine.

7. Two Songs: “Sanhedrin Mode” — Entering the Mindset of Truth

These tracks shift the mood. They are sharp, focused, and energetic—music for action. They draw from the Kabbalistic idea that machshavah tova, a clear mind aligned with Hashem, becomes a vessel for blessing.

8. Two Songs in Hebrew: “זה הסנהדרין — זה הזמן שלנו”

The playlist’s only Hebrew tracks add emotional depth and cultural resonance. They anchor the project in the language of prophecy and prayer. Their theme: This is the Sanhedrin. This is our time.

9. One Song: “My Father’s Voice” — The Transmission of Torah

A deeply personal track about ancestral echoes—the continuity of tradition from generation to generation. The Talmud says that every soul heard the voice of Hashem at Sinai. This song reconnects the listener to that eternal voice.

10. One Song: “Giants of the Ark” — From Ancient Strength to Modern Leaders

From Aner, Eshkol, Mamre…to Moshe…to the sages of the Talmud…to today’s leaders of Torah.

This track links the legends of old to the living giants who carry Torah today.

11. Two Songs: “Towers of Unity” — A Tikkun for Babel

Humanity once built a tower in rebellion against God.

Today, we build towers of humility, unity, and truth—towers not of ego but of purpose. This pair of songs transforms the story of Babel into a story of redemption.

III. The Number 26 — A Signature of the Divine

After the songs were refined, arranged, added, deleted, balanced, and finalized…the number came out to 26.

Not planned.

Not forced.

Not engineered.

It simply emerged.

And 26 is the numerical value of Hashem’s Name: י־ה־ו־ה.

In Kabbalah, 26 represents:

● the unity of heaven and earth,

● the four worlds of creation,

● the spark of the infinite within the finite.

It is the signature of divine purpose.

That this playlist contains 26 songs is therefore not coincidence—it is a hint that the project itself arose from a place beyond calculation.

IV. Joy as the Engine of Service: The Kabbalistic Foundation

The Baal Shem Tov taught that joy breaks all barriers, and the Alter Rebbe explained in Tanya (ch. 26) that serving Hashem with sadness is like trying to dance with stone chains tied to your feet.

Redemption requires joy.

Sanhedrin requires clarity.

Justice requires purity of heart.

Music opens that channel.

The Zohar says that song awakens rachamim ila’in, supernal mercy. When a person listens to holy music, the heart softens, the mind clears, and the soul re-aligns with its purpose.

This playlist was designed as exactly that:a tool for awakening the heart in a dark generation.

V. Why Give It Away for Free?

From the official description:

“Somewhere between the rhythm and the prayer, it became clear: you can’t sell a cry for Redemption… This music is a call to justice, unity, and light. It’s the sound of a people remembering who they are.”

The Sanhedrin Initiative chose to release the project freely for all humanity—Jews, Noahides, seekers, believers, and those searching for meaning.

But producing it required months of work, studio time, tools, recording, writing, composition, editing, and sacrifice.

This is where supporters can step in.

A donation is not a purchase—it is participation in the mission.

VI. The Sanhedrin Initiative — Restoring the Heart of Torah

The Initiative is not political.It is not a movement of force.It is a movement of light.

Its mission is to revive the awareness of Torah justice, rooted in humility, love, responsibility, and the fear of Heaven.

The prophet Isaiah declared:

“אשיבה שופטיך כבראשונה ויועציך כבתחילה —

I will restore your judges as at first, and your advisors as at the beginning.” (Isaiah 1:26)

This playlist is “Step One” — in awakening the heart.

VII. A Blessing to All Who Support This Mission

“May Hashem open for you the 26 channels of blessing from His infinite light—may He fill your homes with peace, your hearts with faith,your days with joy,and your nights with divine protection.”

VIII. Conclusion — Music for a World in Transition

This playlist is more than art.

More than music.

More than a release.

It is a declaration:

Moshiach is not a dream.

Sanhedrin is not a fantasy.

Redemption is not an idea.

It is a process—already unfolding.

And this music is the soundtrack of that process.

Press play. Open your heart.

And join the mission.

IX. The Cover Image — The Etrog, the Flower, and the Future

The cover artwork of Step One: Sanhedrin is more than aesthetic.It is a teaching in itself.

At the center stands the Etrog, the most cherished of the four species used on Sukkot.

Throughout Chazal, the Etrog symbolizes Torah, good deeds, integrity, and inner beauty. It represents a Jew whose inside and outside are aligned—tocho kebaro—the very foundation of what the Sanhedrin embodies: righteousness, responsibility, compassion, and divine justice grounded in action.

The Etrog is the perfect symbol for this project.

A fruit that stands for deeds.

A fragrance that stands for righteousness.

A heart-shaped citrus representing the Jewish heart returning to its mission.

In the image, one sees not only the fruit—but also the shriveled Etrog flower still attached.

This carries a profound message.

Just as the Etrog flower withers so the fruit may grow, so too the movements of modern Jewish history—the political structures, the temporary ideologies, the survival mechanisms of exile—served their purpose. They were the “flower,” protecting the people during a fragile stage. They gave shelter, direction, and energy to a broken generation emerging from the fires of the Holocaust.

But a flower is not the goal.

It is a stage before the fruit.

When the fruit emerges—when Torah identity, divine justice, and Malchut Shamayim (the Kingdom of Heaven) begin to blossom—the flower naturally shrivels away. It is not destruction; it is transformation. The passing of the flower makes room for the fruit.

So too, the saving of the Jewish body from destruction was only the preparation for the rebirth of the Jewish soul—the destiny of תקומת האומה (the true rise of the nation) and the re-establishment of Malchut Shamayim in the Land of Israel.

This is the meaning of the cover.

It is not political commentary.

It is a spiritual parable.

A reminder that survival is not the end goal.

The future is divine purpose.

X. Why the Name “Step One: Sanhedrin”

The playlist carries the title Step One for a reason grounded in Torah law.

The Rambam rules (Hilchot Sanhedrin 1:1; Hilchot Melachim 1–4) that after the Children of Israel return to the Land, the first national obligation is the re-establishment of a lawful Sanhedrin—an institution of Torah judges who bring order, clarity, ethics, and divine justice back into the life of Am Yisrael.

It is literally step one of national restoration.

Only after the Sanhedrin stands can the nation move toward kingship, prophecy, and eventually the full revelation of Moshiach.

This deeper truth is hidden in plain sight.

And remarkably, the name itself—Step One: Sanhedrin—forms the acronym SOS.

Save Our Souls.

Save Our Society.

Save Our Sanity.

Save Our Sacred Identity.

Save Our Source.

For the Sanhedrin represents the soul of the nation finally re-entering its body.

The rebirth of Israel as the Torah envisioned.

The beginning of the great mission:

תקומת האומה — מלכות שמיםThe restoration of the nation — the establishment of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Step One is not just a playlist.

It is a declaration:

The process has begun.
