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)

A new nigun for waiting for the bus, walking home late, for swirling wonderings!

Aramaic: Babylonian Talmud

lyrics
בריך רחמנא 
מלכא דעלמא 
מריה דהאי פיתא 

Brikh raḥamana 
Malka d'alma 
Ma'arey d'hi (oh!) pita 

You are the source of 
Life for all that is 
And your blessing 
Flows through me

Oh lord prepare me
To be a sanctuary
Pure and holy, tried and true
And with thanksgiving, I'll be a living
Sanctuary for you

Oh lord prepare me
To be a revolutionary
Bold and tender, tried and true
And with each other, 
We'll build another
World together
For me and you

(bonus verse written by iris brilliant, andrew meeker, sarah abbott, margot seigle & becky jones, with edits from Aly Halpert / summer 2015)

Yismechu - Batya Levine - LMPS 2018

with the help of hashem ~

this is a song for rain inspired by tefillat hageshem (prayer for rain). as we closed out sukkot this past sunday at sunset, we welcomed in a one line change in our daily liturgy: praying for rain instead of dew. we'll do this for another five to six months and switch back to dew, following  the waxing and waning of our ancestors crop growing and harvest cycles. 

this chag season i’ve had some powerful experiences with sunshine and rain. we had sun when we’ve needed it dwelling outside in our impermanent hut; rain when we were ready and the car was completely packed. sun during the day biking and walking to shul and town; rain now that the sun has set on simchas torah and i am writing this. I know we won’t always be that lucky, especially in the climate crisis, to have just the right amount of rain at just the right time. this prayer for rain is invoking that spirit of hope and timing — that we may have rain in the right places and the right times. that spirit will remember us, and won’t hold back water. 

happy rainy season, y’all.
