Ayeka means "where are you?" Here's a song for fear, for searching for G!d, for love, for the garden where all is calm. 


Vayikra Adonai Elohim el ha-Adam vayomer lo 
Vayikra Adonai Elohim el ha-Adam vayomer lo 

Ayeka 
Where are you
Ayeka
I heard the sound of you 

Ayeka 
Where are you
Ayeka
the sound of you 

Vayomer et-kolcha shamati ba gan 
Vayomer et-kolcha shamati ba gan

Va-ira 
Ki erom
Anochi
va-echabeh

Va-ira 
Ki erom
Anochi
va-echabeh  


Ayeka 
Where are you
Ayeka
I heard the sound of you 
in the garden, and I was afraid
va'echabeh. 

Translation:

And G!d said to the human, saying to them
Where are you? 
And the human said
I heard your voice in the garden and I was afraid,
for I was naked,
so I hid away.

Ayeka

Grief moving through me
Let my body
Feel the waves of love and grief…

Grief, grief and love
Let me feel it all
Let me feel it all

Grief and Love

Morning blessings. (traditional liturgy)

Blessed are you, Cosmic Majesty of the Universe,
for giving my heart the ability to distinguish between day and night,
who made me in Their Divine image,
who made me free,
who made me part of my people,
who grants vision, 
who gives the weary strength.

Birkot Hashachar (Morning Blessings)

Hamotzeh - Arielle Rivera Korman

Composed by Sam Tygiel
Arranged and Sung by Rebekka Goldsmith

This nigun (wordless melody) is inspired by the story of Chana, upon the birth of her son Shmuel/Samuel. 

"I imagine Chana singing with Shmuel in her arms. She is singing the secrets she has discovered through her practice of prayer....through her suffering. She is singing him the secrets of the universe. The secrets of G?d. I close my eyes and sing, imagining I am her, that I have what to sing to this child...though I know he won't yet understand." - S. Tygiel

from Chana's prayer, 1 Samuel 2:2,9 -

אין־קדוש כיהוה כי אין בלתך ואין צור כאלהינו
Ein kadosh kashem, ki ein biltekha, v'ein tzur keloheinu 
There is no holy one like the YHWH, Truly, there is none beside You; There is no rock like our God.

ורשעים בחשך ידמו כי־לא בכח יגבר־איש
U'rshaim bakhoshekh yidmu, ki lo vakhoakh yigbar ish
But the wicked perish in darkness— For not by strength shall man prevail.
