Down To The River To Pray

Tu B'shvat Nign

Just for a Little While by Mother Tongue, author Raphael Agosto-Miranda

Ahh.

lyrics: be easy, take your time, you are coming home to yourself, coming home to yourself. 
Based on a poem by Nayyirah Waheed

Be Easy

Elul: Songs for Turning

Elul Niggun by Aly Halpert

Artist: Peter McKenna
I learned it from Adamah (Jewish Farming Fellowship) in 2014. 

Sung at a song circle on January 1, 2019 on Chinook land/Portland, OR.

Part 1:
There is so much magnificence in the ocean
The waves are comin' in
Waves are comin' in

Part 2:
Wash me away
So that all that's left is love
Great Spirit

Part 3:
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Part 4:
Hallelu, Hallelujah (x3)

Magnificence (Peter McKenna)

Artist: Chandler Yorkhall
I learned it from Sonrisa Alter.

Sung at a (mini) song circle on August 1, 2019 on Chinook land/Portland, OR.

Lyrics:
Full moon outside my window
This warm September night

Pulls me into wakefulness
Far too early

I'd rather be sleeping the day's
Already too long for me

I'll just wait
For dawn

Full Moon Round (Chandler Yorkhall)

Shema & its opening blessings +commentary

אֱכוֹל בְּשִׂמְחָה כִּי כְבָר רָצָךְ
Echol b'simcha ki kvar ratzach

Eat in joy, you are already wanted
You're divinely desired
Eat in joy, you are already wanted
Your being is wanted

Line from "Menucha v'Simcha" ("Rest & Joy"), a medieval zemer/song for Shabbat, traditionally sung on Friday nights
