Mimitzrayim gei'altanu umibeis avadim pedisanu.

(Translation: From Egypt/from the narrow place You redeemed us, from the house of enslavement You delivered us.)

May we continue fighting for collective liberation, for an end to mass incarceration, white supremacy, transphobia, and all forms of oppression.

Mimitzrayim Ge'altanu (Chabad) — Melody for Passover

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

Brucha at Shekhina (Blessed are you, divine presence throughout the physical world) who grounds me
Brucha at Shekhinah who reminds me that I know
Brucha at Shekhinah who guides me
Brucha at Shekhinah who gives me courage to let go
Brucha at Shekhinah ruach ha'olam hameikhinah mitzadei isha
(Blessed are you, Shekhina, spirit of the universe, who makes firm a woman's steps)

A zemer (song) for rest and joy on Shabbat, a time of slowing down
This zemer is usually sung on on Friday night. (16th century text)
sung by Mónica Gomery & Batya Levine

M’nuha v’simha, or lay’hudim,
Yom shabbaton yom mahamadim.
Shom’rav v’zokh’rav heima m’idim
Ki l’shisha kol b’ru’im v’om’dim.

Sh’mei shamayim, erets v’yamim,
Kol ts’va marom g’vohim v’ramim,
Tanin v’adam v’hayat r’eimim,
Ki v’yah adonai tsur olamim.

Hu asher diber l’am s’gulato,
Shamor l’kad’sho mibo’o v’ad tseito.
Shabbat kodesh, yom hemdato,
Ki vo shavat mikol m’lakhto.

B’mitsvat shabbat eil yahalitsakh.
Kum k’ra eilav yahish l’am’tsakh
Nishmat kol hai v’gam na’aritsakh,
Ekhol b’simha ki kh’var ratsakh.

B’mishneh lehem v’kiddush raba,
B’rov mat’amim v’ruah n’diva,
Yizku l’rav tuv hamit’an’gim bah
B’viat go’eil l’hayei ha’olam haba.

Translation:
O light of gladness,​​ O light of gladness,​​
Peace​ unto Israel,
Shabba​​t day of bliss, weave thy magic spell,
Weave​ thy magic spell.
All they who guard thee, all they who guard thee,
With raised cup do tell,
Tell of six days toil, earth from chaos raised
Build​ed firm and well.

Blue skies and green fields, blue skies and green fields,
Ocean​'s unceasing​ tide.
Glori​ous hosts of heaven, beaming far and wide,
Beami​ng far and wide.
Might​y whales and dragons fierce, mighty whales and dragons fierce,
Then human, to tame their pride:
God's​ hand formed them all, sure God's works abide,
Sure God's works abide.

God spoke to Israel, God spoke to Israel,
Chose​n for this behest,
'Till​ night's stars shine bright guard My Shabbat blest,
Guard​ My Shabbat blest.'
O day delightfu​​l, O day delightfu​​l,
Day which our God loved best,
God Godself on thee from God's toil did rest,
From God's toil did rest.

Ye faint and wearied, ye faint and wearied,
Shabba​​t soon make you strong!
Call on God, to God strength and might belong,
Stren​gth and might belong.
Sing loud God's praises, sing loud God's praises,
Sing mid the Angel throng,
Then go, eat in peace, God hath heard your song,
God hath heard your song.

Twin loaves and good cheer, twin loaves and good cheer,
Goble​ts of ruby wine,
Bid thy guests sing loud, praise God's gifts divine
Prais​e God's gifts divine.
God's grace will bless thee, God's grace will bless thee,
True Sabbath bliss be thine
Soon to greet our King, sprung from David's iiu
Sprun​g from David's line.
