V’ahavta Nava Tehila- DTeam

Min HaMetsar karati Yah, anani b'merhav Yah,
Hodu la'donai ki tov, ki l'olam hasdo.

"From the depths of narrowness I called out to Yah, and She answered me with great expansiveness and possibility.

Be grateful to Yah, it's all good! The universe manifests Her lovingkindness."

The tune borrowed from Krishna Das, words inspired by Psalms.

Relinquishing all vows, commitments, unmet promises past and future.

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

Halleluyah: Psalm 148 (Nava Tehila)

Mah tovu ohaleicha ya'akov mishkenoteicha yisrael. 

Va'ani berov chasdecha avo beitecha, eshtachaveh el heichal kodesheca beyiratecha.

Mah Tovu (Thomas Ravenscroft)

Eh, eheu, eheu

[Verse 1]
I was left to my own devices
Many days fell away with nothing to show

[Pre-Chorus]
And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love
Great clouds roll over the hills, bringing darkness from above

[Chorus]
But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like you've been here before?
How am I going to be an optimist about this?
How am I going to be an optimist about this?

[Verse 2]
We were caught up and lost in all of our vices
In your pose as the dust settled around us

[Pre-Chorus]
And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love
Great clouds roll over the hills, bringing darkness from above

[Chorus]
But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like you've been here before?
How am I going to be an optimist about this?
How am I going to be an optimist about this?

[Bridge]
Oh, where do we begin, the rubble or our sins?
Oh, where do we begin, the rubble or our sins?

[Pre-Chorus]
And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love
(Oh, where do we begin, the rubble or our sins?)
Great clouds roll over the hills bringing darkness from above
(Oh, where do we begin, the rubble or our sins?)

Bastille (Pompeii)

Shiru L'Adonai: Psalm 96  (George Mordecai)

A Reb Shlomo Carlebach tune, just to switch things up.

Psalm 96 - Carlebach #2

Love Your Neighbor As Yourself (this is the great principle of Torah- Rabbi Akiva). 

The words, straight outta Leviticus 19:18:
הריני מקבלת עלי את מצבת הבורא ואהבת לרעיך כמוך
Hareini m'kabel(et, if F-identified) alai et mitzvat ha'Borei
V'ahavta l'reyekha kamocha

Behold, I take upon myself the commandment from the Creator:
to love your neighbor as yourself
