Music and ReadingSupplement

Hal’lu Music: Sufi Chant Hal’lu Hal’lu Hal’lu Hal’lu Hal’lu Hal’lu! Halleluyah! We Begin With A Prayer We begin with a prayer of gratitude for all that is holy in our life. God needs no words, no English or Hebrew, no semantics and no services. But we need them. Through prayer, we can sense our inner strength, our inner purpose, our inner joy, our capacity to love. As we reach upward in prayer, We sense these qualities in my Creator. Read Together: To love God is to love each other, to work to make our lives better. To love God is to love the world God created And to work to perfect it. To love God is to love dreams of peace and joy that illumine all of us, and to bring that vision to life.

- (adapted) Mishkan T’filah, A Reform Siddur, CCAR Press, p. 8

Open Up Our Eyes Words & Music: Jeff Klepper Open up our eyes, teach us how to live, fill our hearts with joy and all the love You have to give. Gather us in peace as you lead us to Your Name, and we will know that You are one.

We Are Loved Words: Rami Shapiro; Music: Shir Yaakov Chorus: We are loved, loved, loved by unending love, an unending love.

We are embraced by arms that find us, Even when we are hidden from ourselves. We are touched by fingers that soothe us, Even when we are too proud for soothing. We are counseled by voices that guide us, Even when we’re too embittered to hear. Chorus We are supported by hands that lift us, Even in the midst of a fall. We are urged on by eyes that meet us, Even when we are too weak for meeting. Chorus We are embraced, touched, soothed, and counseled, Ours are the arms, the fingers, the voices. Ours are the hands, the eyes, the smiles. We are loved by an unending love. Chorus

Let Freedom Ring “With … faith, we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day. And this will be the day – this will be the day when all of God’s children will be able to sing with new meaning: “My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the Pilgrim’s pride, From every mountainside, let freedom ring!” And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true.” Read together: “From every mountainside, let freedom ring. And when this happens, when we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God’s children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words: Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!”

– March on Washington, August 28, 1963

Mi Chamocha (Siyahamba; We Are Marching) Original music: South African Freedom Song Hebrew: Mi Chamocha baelim, Adonai!

Mi Kamochah ne’edar bakodesh, nora t’hilot, oseh fele! English: We are marching in the light of God. Zulu: Siyahamb’ ekukha nyen’ kwenkhos’. Spanish: Caminando en la luz de Dios. I Refuse to Accept I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality. Read together: I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality….I have the audacity to believe that peoples everywhere can have three meals a day for their bodies, education and culture for their minds, and dignity, equality and freedom for their spirits. I believe that what self-centered men have torn down, men other-centered can build up….I still believe that we shall overcome.

– Nobel Prize Acceptance Speech, December 10, 1964

Let There Be Love/Hashkiveinu English: Rabbi Chaim Stern, z”l; Music: Noah Aaronson Soloists: Sowmya Balasubramani & Ksenia Krylova

English: Let there be love and understanding among us. Let peace and friendship be our shelter from life’s storms. Hebrew: Hashkiveinu Adonai Eloheinu, Hashkiveinu l’shalom. Hindi: Kadam sey kadam chaley Mann Mey pyaar rahey hamesha Dosti ka haath badhaey to aandhi bhi ho nirbal. Russian: Pust' zhivut lubov' ee ponimaniye sredi nas, pust' mir ee droozhba ookroyut nas ot vsyeh nevzgod.

Heal Us Now Music & English text: Leon Sher R'faeinu Adonai v'neirafeh, hoshi-einu v'nivasheah. El karov, l'chol korav, ach karov, lireav, yishoh. We pray for healing of the body. We pray for healing of the soul. For strength of flesh and mind and spirit. We pray to once again be whole. El na r’fana, Oh please heal us now. R’fuat hanefesh, ur’fuat haguf r’fuah sh’lemah. Heal us now. Hoshia et amecha uvarech et nachalatecha ur’em v’nas’em ad haolam. Mi shebeirach avoteinu, Mi shebeirach imoteinu, Adonai ana hoshiah na. We pray for healing of our people. We pray for healing of the land. And peace for every race and nation, every child, every woman, every man.

We Shall Overcome Music: African American Spiritual We shall overcome, we shall overcome, we shall overcome some day. Oh deep in my heart, I do believe that we shall overcome some day. We’ll walk hand in hand… We shall all have peace… We will all be free…

One Voice Words & Music: Ruth Moody Soloists: Cantor Star Trompeter, Jael Miller & Yessika Krozel

This is the sound of one voice, one spirit, one voice. The sound of one who makes a choice. This is the sound of one voice. This is the sound of one voice. This is the sound of voices two, the sound of me singin’ with you. Helping each other to make it through. This is the sound of voices two. This is the sound of voices two. This is the sound of voices three, singin’ together in harmony. Surrendering to the mystery. This is the sound of voices three. This is the sound of voices three. This is the sound of all of us, singin’ with love and the will to trust. Leave the rest behind, it’ll turn to dust. This is the sound of all of us. This is the sound of all of us. This is the sound of one voice. One people, one voice. A song for every one of us. This is the sound of one voice. This is the sound of one voice.

Psalm 150 (Halleluyah) Music: David Shukiar Translation: Praise God in God’s sanctuary; praise God in the sky, God’s stronghold. Praise God for mighty acts; praise God for God’s exceeding greatness. Praise God with blasts of the shofar; praise God with harp and lyre. Praise God with timbrel and dance; praise God with resounding cymbals. Praise God with loud-clashing cymbals. Let all that breathes praise God. Halleluyah!
