Hu Elokeinu Nigun (R. Menachem Goldberger)

Od Ynuvun, words - Psalm 92, music by Anat Halevy Hochberg & Noam Lerman

Od Ynuvun b’seivah
D’shenim v’ra’ananim yihiyu

Shetulim b’veit adonai,
B’chatztrot eloheinu yafrichu

Tzadik katamar yifrach
Ke’erez balvanon yisgeh

L’hagid ki yashar adonai
Tzuri v’lo avlata bo
עוֹד יְנוּבוּן בְּשֵׂיבָה 
דְּשֵׁנִים וְרַעַנַנִּים יִהְיוּ.

שְׁתוּלִים בְּבֵית ה' 
בְּחַצְרוֹת אֶלֹהֵינוּ יַפְרִיחוּ

צַדִיק כַּתָמָר יִפְרָח כְּאֶרֶז 
בַּלְּבָנוֹן יִשׂגֶּה. 

לְהַגִּיד כִּי יָשָׁר ה'
צוּרִי וְלֹא עַוְלָתָה בּוֹ

Translation:The righteous​ shall flourish like the palm tree and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.Plant​ed in the house of the Lord, they shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bring forth fruit even in old age; they shall be fresh and full of sap; To declare that the Lord is upright; He is my Rock, in whom there is no unrighteo​us​ness.

Od Ynuvun - Anat Halevy Hochberg & Noam Lerman

By the wonderful and talented Rabbi Shefa Gold

Kosi Revaya

we are good.
we are flawed.
we are the breath of an imperfect god.

returning to self. returning to source.
god is change. god is growth. the process, in all it's beauty and all it's mess, is god.

we are good we are flawed

I was made for this morning
I was made to be here
All the life inside me is a gift
so we may heal

All the life around me is a gift

All the life inside me is a gift
so I may heal

I was made to be here
All the life around me is a gift
so we may heal

Open Up the Gates - Melody: 'Galeh' by Moshe Shur// english words by Joseph Berman & Batya Levine

Galeh (Rabbi Moshe Shur)

Ozi VeZimrat Yah (Shefa Gold): I’m recording and posting one Jewish prayer (almost) each weekday morning for the duration of this health crisis. (You can access all of them at.https://www.facebook.com/MusicalPrayerPandemicProject/, and now also at this Youtube playlist: https://bit.ly/PianoPrayerPandemicProjectPlaylist ) This seemed to be an appropriate prayer to record in honor of Juneteenth: words from the Song at the Red Sea, when enslaved people, now liberated, finally knew that their oppressors could no longer have power over them. “Yah -- my strength and my song -- has now become my salvation.” עָזִּי וְזִמְרָת יָהּ וַיְהִי לִי לִישׁוּעָה. The music is by Shefa Gold and has become ubiquitous in most non-Orthodox synagogues in recent years.
