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.

Down To The River To Pray

ВОСЛЕД ДР И.Б.

Из комнаты глухой не выходя,
в слепом, как дождь, прокуренном пространстве
слились душа с иллюзией - хотя...
он видел мир в своём непостоянстве.

И рвал шаблоны, сети, удила...
в бездонном дне безрыбья и покоя:
таким уж, видно, мама родила -
преображал из одного в другое.

И одиночество... до призрачного воя.
И сад причуд, и чудо откровений,
и теснота в зашторенной груди -
не счесть обид и сладостных мгновений…

И вера в жизнь в строке, что впереди...
Он посреди кромешной тьмы мирской
всё искру высекал из мёртвых дней,
чтоб озарить далёкий берег МОЙ,
не выходя из комнаты СВОЕЙ...

Из комнаты глухой не выходя - Стихи © Андрей Теплов

By the waters of babylon
by Joey Weisenberg

By the waters of Babylon
We laid our lyres down
Laid our lyres down
Sat and cried

By the waters of Babylon
Never sang our sacred songs
Sang no sacred songs
Tongues were tied

Holy Darkness / Presencing the Infinite (Preview) ft. Adhamh Roland

Artist: Ayla Nereo

Sung at a (mini) song circle on December 11, 2018 on Chinook land/Portland, OR.

Lyrics:
I feel the winds of the west, outbreath
Letting go of my leaves, all I do not need
Into the darkness of the fall sunset
I release, receive, getting ready for the 
Silence

Winds Of The West (Ayla Nereo)

Harmony and guitar by Rabbi Ariel Root Wolpe

Tzemach Tzedek (1789 - 1866), the third Chabad Rebbe, would purportedly break into this melody upon reaching these words in Hallel (a special set of prayers for festivals and the new moon).

Yemin Hashem (Chabad)

A zemer (song) for Shabbat, a time of slowness, rest, and rejuvination. A zemer usually sung on Shabbat afternoon. Attributed to Dunash ibn Labrat, a 10th century Babylonian paytan (liturgical poet), whose name is spelled acrostically in verses 1,2,3 and 6.
sung by Mónica Gomery & Batya Levine

D'ror yikra l'ven im bat, v'yintzorchem k'mo vavat, n'im shimchem v'lo yushbat, sh'vu v'nuchu b'yom shabbat.

D'rosh navi v'ulami, v'ot yesha aseh imi, n'ta sorek b'toch karmi, she'e shavat b'nei ami.

D'roch purah b'toch batzrah, v'gam bavel asher gavrah, n'totz tzarai b'af v'evrah, sh'ma koli b'yom ekra.

Elohim ten b'midbar har, hadas shitah b'rosh tidhar, v'lamazhir v'lanizhar, sh'lomim ten k'mei nahar.

Hadoch kamai, el kanah, b'mog levav uvamginah, v'narchiv peh unmalenah, l'shonenu l'cha rinah.

D'eh chochmah l'nafshecha, v'hi cheter l'roshecha, n'tzor mitzvat k'doshecha, sh'mor shabbat kodshecha.

Translation:
 God will proclaim freedom for all God's children
And will keep you as the apple of God's eye
Pleasant is your name and will not be destroyed
Repose and rest on the Sabbath day.

Seek my sanctuary and my home.
Give me a sign of deliverance.
Plant a vine in my vineyard.
Look to my people, hear their laments.

Tread the wine-press in Bozrah,
And in Babylon that city of might
Crush my enemies in anger and fury.
On the day when I cry, hear my voice.

Plant, Oh God, in the mountain waste
Fir and acacia, myrtle and elm
Give those who teach and those who obey
Abundance peace, like the flow of a river.

Repel my enemies, Oh zealous God.
Fill their hearts with fear and despair.
Then we shall open our mouths,
And fill our tongues with Your praise.

Know wisdom, that your soul may live,
And it shall be a diadem for your brow.
Keep the commandment of your Holy One
Observe the Sabbath, your sacred day.
