Yismechu - Batya Levine - LMPS 2018

Melody by Shir Yaakov, Words by Rami Shapiro

Words:
We are loved, loved, loved, by unending love, an unending love 

We are embraced by arms that find us even when we are hidden from ourselves
We are touched by fingers that soothe us even when we are too proud for soothing
We are counseled by voices that guide us even when we are too embittered to hear

We are loved, loved, loved, by unending love, an unending love

We are supported by hands that uplift us even in the midst of a fall
We are urged on by eyes that meet us even when we are too weak for meeting

We are loved, loved, loved, by unending love, an unending love

Embraced, touched, soothed, and counseled, ours are the arms, the fingers, the voices
Ours are the hands, the eyes, the smiles
We are loved by an unending love

Lyrics:
In the queen’s palace there are many gates and doors, leading to many halls and chambers.
The palace-keepers have great rings holding many keys, each of which opens a different door. 
But there is one key that fits all the locks, a master key that opens all the doors.
 
Ve’im ratz libcha l’harheir shuv lamakom- if the heart runs return to the place 
 
Every key unlocks another door in our souls, brings us to another chamber 
But there is one key that unlocks all the doors, that master key is a broken heart. 

Ve’im ratz libcha l’harheir shuv lamakom- if the heart runs return to the place 
 
The master key it is a broken heart 
 
קָרוֹב יְיָ לְנִשְׁבְּרֵי לֵב
(Shechina d is close to the broken hearted)

*The verses are from a story of the Baal Shem Tov (Or Yesharim). The chorus is from Sefer Yetzirah. Compilation and melody by Avra. Cover art by Tamuz Shiran from the book "Return to the Place" by Rabbi Jill Hammer.

Return To The Place

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!
