קָרוֹב ה' לְכָל קֹרְאָיו
לְכֹל אֲשֶׁר יִקְרָאֻהוּ בֶאֱמֶת׃
Karov Hashem l'chol korav,
l'chol asher yikrau'hu v'emet
Hashem (source of life / spirit of all) is close to all who call out
to all those who call out in truth

Hey, you’re doing okay,
it’s gonna take time, it’s gonna take time

שָׁמוֹר וְזָכוֹר בְּדִבּוּר אֶחָד, הִשְמִיעָֽנוּ אֵל הַמְּיֻחָד
:ה' אֶחָד וּשְמוֹ אֶחָד. לְשֵׁם וּלְתִפְאֶֽרֶת וְלִתְהִלָּה
:לְכָה דוֹדִי לִקְרַאת כַּלָּה. פְּנֵי שַׁבָּת נְקַבְּלָה
לִקְרַאת שַׁבָּת לְכוּ וְנֵלְכָה. כִּי הִיא מְקוֹר הַבְּרָכָה
:מֵרֹאשׁ מִקֶּֽדֶם נְסוּכָה. סוֹף מַעֲשֶׂה בְּמַחֲשָׁבָה תְּחִלָּה
:לְכָה דוֹדִי לִקְרַאת כַּלָּה. פְּנֵי שַׁבָּת נְקַבְּלָה
מִקְדַּשׁ מֶֽלֶךְ עִיר מְלוּכָה. קֽוּמִי צְאִי מִתּוֹךְ הַהֲפֵכָה
:רַב לָךְ שֶֽׁבֶת בְּעֵֽמֶק הַבָּכָא. וְהוּא יַחֲמוֹל עָלַֽיִךְ חֶמְלָה
:לְכָה דוֹדִי לִקְרַאת כַּלָּה. פְּנֵי שַׁבָּת נְקַבְּלָה
[skipped verses]
בּוֹאִי בְשָׁלוֹם עֲטֶרֶת בַּעְלָהּ. גַּם בְּרִנָּה וּבְצָהֳלָה
:תּוֹךְ אֱמוּנֵי עַם סְגֻּלָּה. בּוֹאִי כַלָּה, בּוֹאִי כַלָּה
:לְכָה דוֹדִי לִקְרַאת כַּלָּה. פְּנֵי שַׁבָּת נְקַבְּלָה
Shamor v’zachor b’dibur echad
Hishmi’anu el ha’myuchad
Adonai echad u’shmo echad
L’shem u’l’tiferet v’lit’hillah
Lecha dodi likrat kallah
p'nei shabbat n'kabela
Likrat shabbat lechu v’nelcha
Ki hi mekor ha’beracha
Me’rosh mikedem nesucha
Sof ma’aseh b’machshava t’chila
Lecha dodi likrat kallah
p'nei shabbat n'kabela
[skipped verses]
Bo’i v’shalom ateret ba’ala,
Gam b’rina uv’ tzhala
Toch emunei am segula
Bo’i chala, bo’i chala.
Lecha dodi likrat kallah
p'nei shabbat n'kabela

We rise, humbly hearted
Rise, won’t be divided
Rise, with spirit to guide us
Rise!
In hope, in prayer, we find ourselves here
In hope, in prayer, we’re right here
(x2)
We rise, all of the children
Rise, elders with wisdom
Rise, ancestors surround us
Rise!
In hope, in prayer, we find ourselves here
In hope, in prayer, we’re right here
(x2)
We rise, up from the wreckage
Rise, with tears and with courage
Rise, fighting for life
We rise!

May I be empty and open to receive the light,

Batya Levine uses song as a tool for cultivating healing and resilience in their work as a communal musician, shaliach tzibur (Jewish prayer leader) and cultural organizer. Their music is made of Ashkenazi yearning, queer heart-medicine and emunah (faith/trust).
