Shavua Tov!

Since we welcomed the Sabbath with a traditional Jewish Kabbalat-Shabbat song, in my previous blog entry, why don't we also say goodbye to her, and welcome the week, with a traditional Jewish Havdalah song?

This is one of the most popular Havdalah songs:


Laner velivsamim
Laner velivsamim
Nafshi meyachela
Im titnu li kos
Yayin lehavdalah

Solu drachim li
Pnu lin'vucha
Pitchu sh'arim li
Kol malachei malah

Im titnu li kos
Yayin lehavdalah

Einai ani esah
El al b'lev kosef
Mamtzi drachai li
Bayom uvalaila

Im titnu li kos
Yayin lehavdalah



To the candle and spices

To the candle and spices
My soul longs for
if only you'd pour me a cup of
wine for havdala

All angels up above
pave paths for me
clear the path for the confused
open the gates for me

If you give me a cup of
wine for havdala

I shall raise my eyes
to and fro with a worthy heart
who provides my life paths for me
by day and night

if you give me a cup of
wine for havdala

Have a wonderful week, walking daily with our wonderful Lord, Jesus Christ - Yeshua HaMashiach!
