This song was born from a teaching in Rebbetzin Rubinstein’s Emunah Chabura, where our Mandy first heard the words “Hashem is good and His ways are good.” She shared it with us, we shared it on the podcast, and it became a message that took on a life of its own — bringing strength and hope to women across the world. This song is our way of capturing that emunah, that warmth, and that light. With deep gratitude to Rebbetzin Rubinstein for inspiring it, and to Mandy for introducing it into our lives. It’s such a good call to remember, HASHEM IS GOOD AND HIS WAYS ARE GOOD!!!!!! [email protected] @suchagoodcall on instagram
