Notes
a Yemenite Hebrew prayer dance
Sabbath can be a moment ... a moment of faith
when one truly leaves to Divine Presence the care of oneís soul.
Words in English
As (If) I observe the Sabbath, God protects me.
It is an everlasting sign between him and me.
It is forbidden to do business or chores,
or to speak of material needs.
In it I shall find a soul for my soul.
He gave its holiness for the first generation.
I shall pray to God evening and morning,
morning and afternoon, and he will answer me.
Words in Native Tongue
Ki (Im) eshmera shabat el yishmereni.
Ot hi leíolmei ad beino uveini.
Asur metso chefetz laíasot derachim
gam miledaber bo divrei tserachim.
Do emtseíah tamid nofesh lenafshi.
Hineh leder rishon natan kedoshi.
Et palelah el el arivit veshscharit,
musaf vegam mincha hu yaíaneni.
