Belz Nigun (Shark in the Mikveh)

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)
-Ri J. Turner

Tree  Nigun - Noam Lerman

Artist: Meredith Buck
I learned from Marion of Sing Portland.

The story goes that Meredith Buck was at a retreat in the woods. The participants were led somewhere on the grounds, were then blindfolded, and had to find their way back by listening to the sound of drums being played. Part of the journey back was crossing the Eel River, and it was when Meredith was wading across that this song came to her.

Sung at a song circle on August 18, 2019 on Chinook land/Portland, OR.

Part 1:
Listen (x4)

Part 2:
Lay yourself down on the rocks now
Let your body down in the river
Listen for the drumming on the other side
Lose yourself in the meantime

Part 3:
Listen
Let your body be your guide
Let the water decide
Lose yourself in the meantime

Eel River Chant / Listen (Meredith Buck)

Artist: MaMuse
I learned at a MaMuse concert in August 2018.

Sung at a song circle on August 18, 2019 on Chinook land/Portland, OR.

Part 1:
Findin' my way (x5)
Findin' my way back home
Findin' my way (x5)
Findin' my way back home

Part 2:
Oh river
I hear you feel you callin' me
Oh river
Who will I be when I reach the sea

Part 3:
I am, I am home
I am, I am home

Finding My Way / Oh River (MaMuse)

Let Us See the Beauty

for the trans bodies, covid bodies, black & brown bodies, disabled and chronically ill bodies, gloriously fat bodies & all the bodies that have to forge their own beautiful path to wholeness.

this body is the earth that holds my bones
this body is the air that i breathe
this body is the water flowing at the shore
this body is the path that guides me home

this body, this body, this body sets me free

This Body

We will not underestimate 
our power any longer—
we know that together, we are strong.
Like drops of water shape the rocks 
as they rush down the falls,
we know that together,
we are strong.

"With newborn song, liberated people praised Your name on the lip of the sea. All were one in thanks." -Jewish Liturgy

Our Power (Video Version)

JEWISH COMMUNAL SINGING FOR HEALING AND LIBERATION
Let My People Sing! is a cultural project expanding the ancient and transformative practice of Jewish communal singing. We gather in multi-racial, multicultural and genderful Jewish community, uplifting songs and leaders historically and ongoingly pushed to the margins. Together, we transmit and reclaim diasporic Jewish singing traditions, celebrate original music emerging from our communities, and create heart-centered gatherings where we can all be leaders and learners of song.
