As we resist this racist system
We will persist with courage in our hearts
And as we build, build, build with each other ---we will grow and we will thrive 

As we resist this racist system
Tho we persist with rage in our hearts
Oh we will breathe, breathe, breathe with each other -- and we’ll remember, we are still alive

As we resist this racist system
We will persist with joy in our hearts
And as we build, build, build with each other --- we’ll let truth and justice be our guide

As we resist this racist system
Tho we persist with grief in our hearts
Oh we will breathe, breathe, breathe with each other --- and we’ll remember, we are still alive

As We Resist

A chant to lean into Elul in three parts

Part one: I'm going deep, deep within, mmmmmm (inspired by the practice of cheshbon hanefesh and teshuva during Elul)

Part two: I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine (acronym of Elul from Song of songs 6:3)

Part three: Whom shall I fear? Nobody! (inspired by Psalm 27, the psalm read/chanted daily during Elul)

Elul Chant 5781

This is one (of many) phrases that is said to someone who is in mourning in the Jewish tradition.  And after experiencing personal and communal loss in the last few weeks, these words have been swirling around me. With help from the ancestors, this song came through. --kbf

words to the song:
המקום ינחם אתכם בתוך שאר אבלי ציון וירושלים
HaMakom yenachem et'chem 
b'toch shar avay'lay 
Tzion vee'Yerushalayim.
May you be comforted 

May you be comforted with the mourners of Tzion
And the mourners of Yerushalayim
May you be comforted with mourners everywhere
May you be comforted

****The artwork, which features cloves, salt, tulip petals, straw flowers, glitter, sand dollar, a melach card, and the hebrew words "HaMakom yenachem et'chem" was lovingly created by Rachel Kipnes
