Ohr Naava is the global movement of inspiration, education and strength for Jewish women—the bedrock of Klal Yisroel.
Founded by Rabbi Zechariah Wallerstein Z”L, our six divisions now reach over a million women and girls annually.

Lyrics:

There are times when I stand by a mirror
To take a close look at myself
And the face that I see – Looking right back at me
Wishes it was someone else

But there is – only one you
A fragment of light from above
That would joyfully serve and cling to Hashem
If only it knew – the depth of His love

Time to leave your cocoon, my dear butterfly
Show yourself and the world just how very high
You can fly, you can soar – once you unlock the door
And Hashem will be there at your side – And Hashem will be there at your side

There are times when I hear music playing
But it’s more a lament than a song
I’m so used to the pain – of its tragic refrain
That whispers you don’t belong

But there is – only one you
A Neshama most precious and sweet
Our lives are a chorus – In praise of Hashem
And when your voice is missing – The song’s incomplete

Chorus

I’ve been told every soul sent from heaven
Has its very own mountain to climb
Though some do prevail – Many stumble and fail
And I know not which fate will be mine

But there is – only one you
With a calling of your very own
The road may be long – a test of the heart
But you’ll never, no never - have to walk it alone

Time to leave your cocoon, my dear butterfly
Show yourself and the world just how very high
You can fly, you can soar – once you unlock the door
And Hashem will be there at your side – Yes – He’ll always be there at our side
