Sheb’Shifleinu (Psalms 136:23-24)

A new melody for your Pesach Seder!

שֶׁ֭בְּשִׁפְלֵנוּ זָ֣כַר לָ֑נוּ כִּ֖י לְעוֹלָ֣ם חַסְדּֽוֹ׃
וַיִּפְרְקֵ֥נוּ מִצָּרֵ֑ינוּ כִּ֖י לְעוֹלָ֣ם חַסְדּֽוֹ׃

Sheb’shifleinu zakhar lanu ki l’olam khasdo
Va’yifrekeinu mi’tzareinu ki l’olam khasdo

When we were in the lowest of places, G!d/Existence remembered us, because there is always goodness and compassion in the world. We were separated from our sorrows and constriction because the Divine's goodness and compassion is eternal.

Sheb'Shifleinu - Joey Weisenberg (Nigun for Passover)

I was so blessed to learn these piyutim from my uncle and family as a child and want to bring them to you all, adapted and arranged to be used as chants and congregational melodies in our sacred spaces.    

Many thanks to the phenomenal musicians, Uri Sharlin, Roger Mgrdichian, David Eisenberg and Ritchie Stein, and to my Uncle Shaul z"l who taught me so much.

Hallelu - Yah

No Matter

created by Reverend Osby of Aurora Illinois in the Hinds County jail during the freedom rides based on an old gospel song from the 1960s

Woke up this morning with my mind stayed on freedom
I woke up this morning with my mind stayed on freedom
Well I woke up this morning with my mind stayed on freedom
