Sharing Our Stories (Rosh HaShanah 2009/5770)

Adon Olam is one of the most ancient Piyutim that is still widely known and sung throughout the communities of Israel. Some attribute this Piyut to R. Shlomo Ibn Gabirol (The Rashbag), although there is no proof that he is the author. It is customary to sing this Piyut before morning prayers. Medieval rabbis regarded this poem with high esteem. Rabbi Yehudah the Pious of Germany wrote: “I guarantee that the prayers of one who says Adon Olam with attention are heard, and that Satan shall not act against his prayers... some say that even the evil inclination within him will reside and not entice him” (Sha’arei Tﬁlah 308:10b). The reason for this reverence can be attributed to the rare combination of the most important principles of faith with a sense of natural, emotional closeness to the Divine.

Karev Yom - Deborah Sacks Mintz

Simple recording of an old melody, collected by Moyshe Beregovsky (Moisei Iakovlevich Beregovskii) in the early 1900s in Ukraine, later rediscovered in Kyiv, and subsequently adapted by Joey Weisenberg as the "Kane Street Nigun."

May the joyous energy of this nigun be a source of hope in a time of needless destruction and wanton violence now plaguing the region where it originated.

Beregovsky Nigun (Kane Street Nigun) - Joey Weisenberg

קבלה של המציאות היא המפתח לחיים של שקט שלווה ואושר.
קודם מקבלים ואז משנים אם אפשר ורוצים.
לא כדאי להתנגד למציאות כי כל מה שמתנגדים לו גדל.
היום נתרגל זאת יחד.

מדיטציה של קבלה

ניסים אמון: חכמת הזן - מדיטציה טיבטית

This melody's composer is unknown, but it originated in the town of Persa, now in Poland, once in the Pale of Settlement. 

Yedid nefesh, Av harachaman, 
meshoch Avdach el Retzonach. 
Yarutz avdach kemo ayal, 
yishtachave mul hadarach. 
Ye’erav lo yedidutach, minofet tsuf vechol ta’am. 

Hadoor naeh ziv haolam, nafshi cholat ahavatach. 
Anah El nah refah nah lah, b’harot lah noam zivach, 
Az titchazek v’titrapeh, v’hay’tah lah shifchat olam. 

Vatik yehemoo rachamecha v’chus na al ben ohavach. 
Ki zeh kamah nichsof nichsaf, lir’ot betiferet oozach. 
Anah Eyli, machmad leebee, chooshah nah v’al titalam. 

Higaleh nah uf’ros chaviv alai, et sukkat shelomach 
Tair eretz mikevodach, nagilah v’nismechah bach. 
Maher ahoov, ki va moed, v’choneni kimei olam.
