Jewish prayer songs and Hebrew songs (popular/classic)

[Sweet_Caroline]

This is the type of Klezmer I love.

Amsterdam Klezmer Band - Di Naie Chuppe - Sziget 2012 - YouTube

That was awesome.

And thanks for the invite, Stat!

A warm welcome, and any friend of Stat is a friend of mine. I will put some more Klezmer on her in a while. I particularly like the Amsterdam Klezmer Band although I suppose I should widen my horizons in the Klezmer genre.

This one is for Stat. the older, classic Jazz is the best in my opinion.

COME MY BELOVED
GUARD AND REMEMBER / RECEPTION OF THE SABBATH

Come my lover to welcome the Shabat (referred to as the bride)
We will welcome the Shabat
(x2)

Guard and remember in a single utterance
let us hear the special kind
God is one and his name is one
for his name for glory and praise

Come my lover...

Let's greet the Shabat
as it is the source of blessing
it is spread over from encient times
every deed is resulted after a thought first

Come my lover...

King's temple, kingdom city
Come out of the rebellion
it is enough to sit in valley of cry
he will have mercy on you

Come my lover...

Get up from the ash and shake it off your self
wear your glorious cloths, my nation
next to ben yishai (meaning king david) and beit halachmi
my soul will be saved

Come my lover...

Wake up wake up
You have a guest get up
Wake up wake up and sing a song
You saw the glory of God

Come my lover...

You will not be ashamed or disgraced
why are you bent over and why do you moan softly
the poor will find refuge in you
and you will be rebuild again

Lecha dodi...

Vehayu lim'shisah shosaich,
verachaku kol miv'laich,

Come my beloved...

Enter in peace o crown of her husband
Even in gladness and good cheer
Among the faithful of the treasured nation
Enter o bride, enter o bride.
Among the faithful of the treasured nation
Enter o bride, the Sabbath Queen.

Come my beloved...

Itzhak Perlman plays Klezmer - YouTube

Thanks Jroc.

The first time I saw Perlman play was by accident. The city orchestra would have rehersals during lunch times and they were free for anyone who wanted to drop by. Normally I would have lunch in the park but it was raining so I decided to go the other way to city hall instead. And there he was in shorts up on the stage playing as if it was for the sold out concert that evening.

We shall ascribe holiness to this day.

For it is awesome and terrible.

Your kingship is exalted upon it.

Your throne is established in mercy.

You are enthroned upon it in truth.

In truth You are the judge,

The exhorter, the all‑knowing, the witness,

He who inscribes and seals,

Remembering all that is forgotten.

You open the book of remembrance

Which proclaims itself,

And the seal of each person is there.

The great shofar is sounded,

A still small voice is heard.

The angels are dismayed,

They are seized by fear and trembling

As they proclaim: Behold the Day of Judgment!

For all the hosts of heaven are brought for judgment.

They shall not be guiltless in Your eyes

And all creatures shall parade before You as a troop.

As a shepherd herds his flock,

Causing his sheep to pass beneath his staff,

So do You cause to pass, count, and record,

Visiting the souls of all living,

Decreeing the length of their days,

Inscribing their judgment.

On Rosh Hashanah it is inscribed,

And on Yom Kippur it is sealed.

How many shall pass away and how many shall be born,

Who shall live and who shall die,

Who shall reach the end of his days and who shall not,

Who shall perish by water and who by fire,

Who by sword and who by wild beast,

OTHER PEOPLE'S DREAMS

For years everyone flees,
for years everyone returns,
Chasing after the sun,
Prisoners inside cycles,
everyone is involved,
So what are you still dreaming of,
For years they all hide it,
for years they all know,
A stone is turned over,
In the nights and the days everyone is already talking,
Why do you still remain...

Better to run to the fire,
to demand rather than to beg,
From what are you scared?
There's nothing to think about that he says,
there's no time more beautiful,
Bring the day...

For years they ask,
for years they don't listen,
Keeping everything in the stomach,
It piles up and it gets stronger
and in the end it finishes,
What are you talking about,

Better to run to the fire...

On the outside you are always quiet,
But inside it burns and consumes everything,
All the words that disappear
You will find them in the dreams of others...

For years they are opened yet remain closed up,
held by the wind,
Every tragedy chases differently,
it comes it speaks,
They return to the open wound...

Better to run to the fire...

On the outside you are always quiet...

For years everyone flees,
for years everyone returns,
Chasing after the sun.

This is for Jewish prayers and also popular Hebrew singers/groups.

Ana BeKoach - Ovadia Chamama, Yitzik Eshel and 'Heaven and Earth' - YouTube

"ANA BEKOACH" is one of the most powerful prayers there is in the Jewish religion with in regards to the energetic frequency it contained within. It is not an exaggeration that it could lift you literally to the sky. Its strength lies in the unique combination of the letters. It is recommended to say this prayer each morning, and/or before an important occasion, couple meeting, interview etc' as the Arizel recommends to do.

"ANA BEKOACH" prayer, after being said in the morning can be repeated all through the day when a complicated situation occurs, a great task is before us or with any occasion when you need to communicate with upper realms.

The upper worlds are the worlds where our strength and awareness are unlimited and may open ourselves to any thing new. A world with unlimited opportunities, abundance, knowledge, awareness and inspiration.

"ANA BEKOACH" prayer helps us to open ourselves to anything that arrives from these worlds. For generations "ANA BEKOACH" prayer received great importance at the Kabbalist and mystics that knew the enormous strength of the letters combination in the prayer.

Therefore you may find "ANA BEKOACH" set inside talismans, synagogue signs and painted windows, in order to give strength and assistance to elevate to upper worlds. In fact, its main goal of spiritual work is to elevate beyond the five known senses and to remind ourselves that the materialistic world is not limiting us and our awareness has the ability to go beyond substance.

Hebrew version (English letters)
"ANA BEKOACH"
ANA BEKOACH. GEDULAT YEMINECHA. TATIR ZERURA
KABEL RINAT. AMCHA SAGVENU. TAHARENU NORA
NA GIBOR. DORSHEY YICHUDCHA. KEBAVAT SHOMREM
BARCHEM TEHAREM. RACHAMEY ZIDEKATCHA.
TAMID GOMLEM
HASIN KADOSH. BEROV TUVECHA. NAHEL ADOTECHA
YAHID GE'EA. LEAMECHA PNNE. ZOCHREY KDUSHATECHA
SHAVATENU KABEL. USHEMA ZAKATENU. YODE TA'ALUMOT.

The English Translation for Ana Bekoach
With your great power release the bonds of exile from your people. Receive our prayer, the prayer of your people, elevate us, and purify us, great one. Please o mighty one .Keep us safe, protect us from harm and save us. Bless us, give us strength with your grace, reward us and have mercy on us. O great one with your powers, guide your congregation with kindness. Superior, the one and only, come back to your people, people who worship you and remember your holiness. Accept our plea hear our bitterly cry. You, the one who knows the true hidden way.
(*) the power of the prayer - however- lies in the combination of the Hebrew letters only and by far any other way.

Ana Bechoach is absolutely my favorite.

Al Kol Eileh was written by Naomi Shemer, after a tragedy in her family. But the lyrics and music were especially known to be sang by pioneers, about the love of people and land. It's classic Israeli-Jewish song.
