Belz Nigun (Shark in the Mikveh)

A three-part chant celebrating the gifts of the darkness.  Lyrics:  Every time I go into the darkness, I return with fistfuls of jewels.  Midnight velvet wraps all around me; stars glitter brilliant above.
Dreaming darkness, dreaming light.  @ Big Bug Music.

When We Sing by Olivia Fern- Alto 2 & Tenor

VERSE 1
Time is like a fire burning
It grows until the air runs out
Grace can keep the pages turning
Learn just what this life’s about

CHORUS
Would you believe it, if it hits you in the face
Could you receive it, if by losing wins the race
There is a season, for the best things in the world
Finding the reason, every day takes its own turn

VERSE 2
Shadows creep but dawn is waking
Hope can grow from seeds of doubt
Distance fades when hearts keep searching
Where the light can lead us out

CHORUS
Would you believe it, if it hits you in the face
Could you receive it, if by losing wins the race
There is a season, for the best things in the world
Finding the reason, every day takes its own turn

BRIDGE
Sun up
Sun down

CHORUS
Would you believe it, if it hits you in the face
Could you receive it, if by losing wins the race
There is a season, for the best things in the world
Finding the reason, every day takes its own turn

Sun up
Sun down
Sun up
Sun down

Sun Up Sun Down

Part 1: 
May this body be a bridge for the healing of this land
May the river flow through us cleansing greed from our hands

May this body be a bridge for the healing of this land
May the river flow through us cleansing grief from our hands

Part 2:
We are, we are born from the water
We are, we are made from the land

Teach us, teach us, oh Great Mother
To bring, to bring peace to this land

Lyrics: Part one is inspired by Said Abdallah; part 2 by Theresa Martin
Melody: Theresa Martin

May This Body Be A Bridge

Artist: Meredith Buck
I learned from Marion of Sing Portland.

The story goes that Meredith Buck was at a retreat in the woods. The participants were led somewhere on the grounds, were then blindfolded, and had to find their way back by listening to the sound of drums being played. Part of the journey back was crossing the Eel River, and it was when Meredith was wading across that this song came to her.

Sung at a song circle on August 18, 2019 on Chinook land/Portland, OR.

Part 1:
Listen (x4)

Part 2:
Lay yourself down on the rocks now
Let your body down in the river
Listen for the drumming on the other side
Lose yourself in the meantime

Part 3:
Listen
Let your body be your guide
Let the water decide
Lose yourself in the meantime

We will not underestimate 
our power any longer—
we know that together, we are strong.
Like drops of water shape the rocks 
as they rush down the falls,
we know that together,
we are strong.

שִׁירָה חֲדָשָׁה שִׁבְּ֒חוּ גְאוּלִים לְשִׁמְךָ עַל־שְׂפַת הַיָּם יַֽחַד כֻּלָּם הוֹדוּ

yachad kulam hodu

Our Power (Video Version)

Grateful for this little melody coming to me from the pages of my siddur one summer morning.

Ma tovu ohalecha Yaakov, mishk’notecha Yisrael
How lovely are your tents [people of] Jacob; your sanctuaries [people of] Israel.

Mah Tovu

The New Synagogue Project is building a spiritually vibrant, radically inclusive synagogue that reflects our vision for a world of justice, equity, and liberation. Our community is being created by and for families with kids, couples and single people, queer and trans people, disabled and chronically ill people, D/deaf and hard of hearing folks, interfaith families, Jews of color and white Jews, Jews from many religious and secular backgrounds, and anyone interested in exploring and experiencing Jewish life. 

We believe communal singing is an incredibly powerful way to pray, connect with each other and ourselves, and find healing. Singing infuses our services and gatherings, and we are always looking for new ways to create vibrant, songful experiences. Come sing with us!
