אַנְעִים זְמִירוֹת וְשִׁירִים אֶאֱרֹג
כִּי אֵלֶיךָ נַפְשִׁי תַּעֲרֹג
נַפְשִׁי חַמְּדָה בְּצֵל יָדֶךָ
לָדַעַת כָּל רָז סוֹדֶךָ
ANIM ZEMIROT V’SHIRIM E’EROG
KI EILECHA NAFSHI TA’AROG
NAFSHI CHAMDA B’TZEL YADECHA
LADA’AT KOL RAZ SODECHA
I will pleasantly sing melodies and weave songs,
For my soul longs for you.
My soul finds comfort in the shade of your palm,
Discovering your endless depths and mysteries
-Rav Yehudah Hachassid
I learned these words when I was six or seven years old. I went to synagogue every week with my family, and a seven or eight year old would always lead this melodic poem at the end of the service, singing in call and response with the congregation. The tunes were always upbeat, and it was a fun close to the service. Only much later did I begin to explore what the words were actually saying. These words are a mystical love poem to God attributed to Rav Yehudah HaChassid. The full poem is an acrostic, and the words themselves are beautiful: “I will pleasantly sing melodies and weave songs, for my soul longs for You. My soul finds comfort in the shade of your palm, discovering your endless depths and mysteries.”
The poem continues in this manner, with the author describing, in great detail, the intricacies of a picture of God. But the key, I learned from my friend and teacher Eliana Light, is a line near the beginning, “Asapra kevodcha v’lo re’iticha, adamcha achancha v’lo yedaticha,” I’ll tell of Your glory, though I have never seen You. I’ll give people images for You and names for You, but I do not even know You. What an insight, and what an invitation! Though no one can be sure what God looks like, and though the Divine may appear and may be different in the eye of each person, this poem grants us permission to create our own connections and associations with the Holy One.
I love the blend of female and male voices. Having both is not only more beautiful and more broadly inspiring but also helps both men and women sing along.
What a gift! Thank you for sharing:)

So beautiful. Where are your albums??
Thank you! Wherever you find your music! Or check out www.joshwarshawsky.com
@@JoshWarshawsky Rabbi, I listened to your music the entire afternoon and evening. I’m in awe of all the wonderful voices. G-D blesses you all!
I love your Kah Ribon, but this is a classic Jewish song. I'm sorry to say, even though there was great harmony, I'm not impressed. Also, I liked it better when you couldn't discern the woman's voices from the rest.
To each their own, I guess. Womxn's voices add holiness to this rendition, as far as I'm concerned. Keep it coming, womxn!
