We return (we return), we return (we return), we return, return again
We return (we return), we return (we return), we return, return again and again
To You, to You, to You, we return again to You

Dodi li va'ani lo
Haro'eh bashoshanim

Mi zot ola min hamidbar
Mi zot ola min hamidbar
Dodi li va'ani lo
Haro'eh bashoshanim
M'kuteret mor, mor ulevona
Mor ulevona, dodi li
Dodi li va'ani lo
Haro'eh bashoshanim

Libavtini achoti kala

Libavtini kala

Dodi li va'ani lo
Haro'eh bashoshanim
Translation: My beloved is mine and I am theirs. The shepherd is among the lilies, my beloved. Who is this, rising up from the desert? Who is she, rising up? Perfumed with myrrh and frankincense. Myrrh and frankincense. You have captured my heart, my sister, my bride. You have captured my heart, my bride.
(טז) דּוֹדִ֥י לִי֙ וַאֲנִ֣י ל֔וֹ הָרֹעֶ֖ה בַּשּׁוֹשַׁנִּֽים׃
(16) My beloved is mine And I am his Who browses among the lilies.
Achat Sha'alti -- Psalm 27
By Chava Mirel
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olqBdmrwkhQ&ab_channel=ChavaMirelMusic
Achat sha'alti me'et Adonai
Achat sha'alti Otah avakesh (x2)
Shivti, shivti b'veit Adonai
Shivti, shivti kol y'mei chayai (x2)
Lachazot b'noam Adonai
Ulvakeir b'heichalo
Lachazot b'noam Adonai
To gaze upon the beauty of Adonai
One thing, one thing I ask you Adonai
To be with you all of my life (x2)
(ד) אַחַ֤ת ׀ שָׁאַ֣לְתִּי מֵֽאֵת־יְהוָה֮ אוֹתָ֪הּ אֲבַ֫קֵּ֥שׁ שִׁבְתִּ֣י בְּבֵית־יְ֭הוָה כָּל־יְמֵ֣י חַיַּ֑י לַחֲז֥וֹת בְּנֹֽעַם־יְ֝הוָ֗ה וּלְבַקֵּ֥ר בְּהֵיכָלֽוֹ׃
(4) One thing I ask of the LORD, only that do I seek: to live in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD, to frequent His temple.
Makom Bina Niggun -- Job 28
By Deborah Sacks Mintz
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RorTgwYagt4&ab_channel=DeborahSacksMintz

V'hachochma m'ayin timatzeh, v'eizeh makom bina.
Hen yirat Adonai hi chochma, v'sur mera bina.
Wisdom, where can it be found?
Where is the place of true knowledge?
The fear of God-that is wisdom.
Departing from sin-that is true knowledge.
(יב) וְֽ֭הַחָכְמָה מֵאַ֣יִן תִּמָּצֵ֑א וְאֵ֥י זֶ֝ה מְק֣וֹם בִּינָֽה׃
(12) But where can wisdom be found; Where is the source of understanding?
(כח) וַיֹּ֤אמֶר ׀ לָֽאָדָ֗ם הֵ֤ן יִרְאַ֣ת אֲ֭דֹנָי הִ֣יא חָכְמָ֑ה וְס֖וּר מֵרָ֣ע בִּינָֽה׃ (ס)
(28) He said to man, “See! Fear of the Lord is wisdom; To shun evil is understanding.”
