Beautiful Jep Song. My son just bought me all the Jep Songs to put on my MP. OP- did you grow up listening to Jep or you just like the song. I had no idea Baruch Levine sang it on his disc.

You can find it on Jewish music app! It was also recently put sung (maybe part?) In a CD that had lots of old songs connected./medley... Lemme check... Maybe "off the record"
How are you, my dear Nikolai; what’s new behind the iron wall?
In this letter I’ll write to you of life as a free ben Yisroel.
The day begins rather early,
Sweet sounds of children learning Torah,
Davening, Avodas Hashem,
Oh, what a beautiful Has’chalah.
————————————————-
CHORUS:
Your plight pierces my soul, a Jew truly exiled,
But yet, a Jew of courage whose faith shall never die.
Soon great walls of the Heichal, will replace the iron curtain,
Still I wish you could be here, my poor and lonely brother.
————————————————-
Three times a day, troubles leave my mind,
Tefillah carries me Shomaima,
My thoughts I try to direct us home,
Transform my soul Yerusholaima.
Each week, I meet a royal queen,
Her name is Shabbos Hamalka,
She makes me peace and happiness,
I know you yearn for such Simcha.
————————————————-
CHORUS:
Your plight pierces my soul,
a Jew truly exiled,
But yet, a Jew of courage
whose faith shall never die.
Soon great walls of the Heichal,
will replace the iron curtain,
Still I wish you could be here,
my poor and lonely brother.
————————————————-
My days have meaning in every way,
I know the reason for creation-
Torah, Avodah, Yiras Hashem,
define the purpose of our nation.
And now, my dear Nikolai,
I really have to end this letter,
Someday soon, we’ll walk side by side,
When Moshiach will make the world better.
————————————————-
CHORUS 2:
Your plight pierces my soul,
a Jew truly exiled,
But yet, a Jew of courage
whose faith shall never die.
Soon great walls of the Heichal,
will replace the iron curtain,
Still I wish I could be there,
and meet my dear brother…

ironic I heard this song as a child, not really knowing too much about it...
at the same time, my future husband was in Russia/Ukraine barely knowing about Yiddishkeit.
BH the iron curtain fell!
Spotify had some JEP albums, if you want to listen to them. But I've really loved the baruch levine off the record albums, so many of my favourites that I remember from growing up.
