For connecting with God or maybe just getting some work done in the library with earbuds in

Nigunim (ניגונים)

With the world on fire, it seemed time for a totally brooding, epic nigun.

Nighttime Nigun

A new nigun for waiting for the bus, walking home late, for swirling wonderings!

Od Ynuvun, words - Psalm 92, music by Anat Halevy Hochberg & Noam Lerman

Od Ynuvun b’seivah
D’shenim v’ra’ananim yihiyu

Shetulim b’veit adonai,
B’chatztrot eloheinu yafrichu

Tzadik katamar yifrach
Ke’erez balvanon yisgeh

L’hagid ki yashar adonai
Tzuri v’lo avlata bo
עוֹד יְנוּבוּן בְּשֵׂיבָה 
דְּשֵׁנִים וְרַעַנַנִּים יִהְיוּ.

שְׁתוּלִים בְּבֵית ה' 
בְּחַצְרוֹת אֶלֹהֵינוּ יַפְרִיחוּ

צַדִיק כַּתָמָר יִפְרָח כְּאֶרֶז 
בַּלְּבָנוֹן יִשׂגֶּה. 

לְהַגִּיד כִּי יָשָׁר ה'
צוּרִי וְלֹא עַוְלָתָה בּוֹ

Translation:The righteous​ shall flourish like the palm tree and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.Plant​ed in the house of the Lord, they shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bring forth fruit even in old age; they shall be fresh and full of sap; To declare that the Lord is upright; He is my Rock, in whom there is no unrighteo​us​ness.

Evtach Velo Efchad - Arielle Lekach-Rosenberg

Wonder — the northern light within, quiet and vast.

Like a compass under open skies, it points not to achievement, but to astonishment.
In Swedish landscapes, silence and awe live side by side — and music opens the space where wonder becomes sound.

This track is part of my Virtues Series – inspired by Giuseppe Galli’s thoughts on social virtues.
Each piece is created together with a different artist, giving voice and sound to a human quality that connects us.

Wonder is not distraction — it is presence.
To stand still before the vast,
to be open when beauty appears,
to not lose the childlike gift of amazement.

I am deeply grateful to share this virtue with Marol (@zophrenia) — whose sound carries the northern air, weaving silence and awe into a body of music.

✨ More virtues will follow — each with a different artist, each with its own voice.

If this track resonates, feel free to share or comment — connection is the heart of this series.

Music: Miriam Margles
Words: Ary Solomon
I learned at Hava Nashira (singing retreat at OSRUI in Wisconsin) from Noam Katz. Original words are in Hebrew (zeh hayom asah adonai nagilah v'nis'm'cha vo) and have been changed (not a translation).

Sung at a song circle on July 20, 2019 on Chinook land/Portland, OR.

Lyrics:
Raise your eyes look up to the sky
Feel the rain as it falls down

*Note: I originally thought the music was by Noam Katz - thank you Baci Weiler for the correction!

We let the love wash over us, we let, we let it be

We Let It Be - Rickie Byars Beckwith

This song came through the shock following a particularly cruel Zoombombing that disrupted a funeral. 

May we hold one another as we wind down the rocky mountain roads from the peaks of shock and heartbreak to the valleys of silence and peace.

Linke Fligl Nigun

Nigun (a wordless melody from the Jewish tradition) written on the banks of the Washougal River in so-called Washington state. Ancestral lands of the Cowlitz tribe and Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde. From what I can tell, "Washougal" is a Native word meaning "rushing waters". If you have any other information about the original stewards of this land and river, please let me know!
