May the Lord protect you May the Lord defend you May he look at you and shower you with praise May the Lord guide you to wisdom and to peace And may he always show you how to be brave Ken Yehi Ratzon (Let it be so) May the Lord teach you and show you to believe That we are all so different yet the same There's so much in this world that we all can achieve And may you just be you and never change Ken Yehi Ratzon (Let it be so) יברכך יהוה וישמרך יאר יהוה פניו אליך ויחונך ישא יהוה פניו אליך וישם לך שלום "Yevarechecha Adonai veyishmerecha" ("May God bless you and keep you"). "Ya'er Adonai panav eilecha viy'chunecha" ("May God show you favor and be gracious to you") "Yisa Adonai panav eilecha veyasem lecha shalom" ("May God show you kindness and grant you peace"). Ken Yehi Ratzon (Let it be so)

בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית בָּרָ֣א In the beginning אֱלֹהִ֑ים of God's creation אֵ֥ת הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם והָאָֽרֶץ of the heavens and the earth וְהָאָ֗רֶץ הָֽיְתָ֥ה Now the earth was תֹ֨הוּ֙ וָבֹ֔הוּ astonishingly empty וְח֖שֶׁךְ עַל-פְּנֵ֣י תְה֑וֹם and darkness was on the face of the deep, וְר֣וּחַ אֱלֹהִ֔ים and the spirit of God מְרַחֶ֖פֶת was hovering עַל-פְּנֵ֥י הַמָּֽיִם: over the face of the water וַיֹּ֥אמֶר אֱלֹהִ֖ים יְהִ֣י א֑וֹר And God said, "Let there be light," וַיַּ֥רְא אֱלֹהִ֖ים כִּי-טֽוֹב And God saw that it was good וְיִקְרָא לרְקִיעַ And God called the skies שָׁמַיִם, Heaven ליבֵשָׁה אֶרֶץ the dry land Earth וְלַמַּיִם יָמִים and the gathering of the waters, Seas מדֶּשֶׁא אֶת הַדֶּשֶׁא, He made the green grass עֵצִים מְלַבְלְבִים, and flourishing trees וּבָרָא אֶת הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ And created the Sun וְאֶת הַיָּרֵחַ And the moon וְאֶת כָּל הַדָּגִים And the fish וְהַתַּנִּינִים, And the large sea creatures וְאֶת הָעוֹפוֹת וְהַנְּחָשִׁים The birds and the snakes וְיִבְרָא אֱלֹהִים אִישׁ וְאִשָּׁה, And God created man and woman וִירֵא כִּי טוֹב מְאֹד And God saw the it was very good וירֵא כִּי טוֹב, And it was good וירֵא כִּי טוֹב, He saw it was good הוּא רָאָה כִּי טוֹב מְאֹד He saw it was very good. וַיְכֻלּ֛וּ Now it was completed הַשָּׁמַ֥יִם The Heaven וְהָאָ֖רֶץ The Earth וְכָל-צְבָאָֽם: And all their host וַיְכַ֤ל אֱלֹהִים֙ And God completed בַּיּ֣וֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִ֔י On the seventh day מְלַאכְתּ֖וֹ אֲשֶׁ֣ר עָשָׂ֑ה All the work which he had made וַיִּשְׁבֹּת֙ And he rested בַּיּ֣וֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִ֔י On the seventh day מִכָּל-מְלַאכְתּ֖וֹ אֲשֶׁ֥ר עָשָֽׂה: From all the work which he had made כִּ֣י ב֤וֹ שָׁבַת֙ Because that in it he rested מִכָּל-מְלַאכְתּ֔וֹ From all the work אֲשֶׁר-בָּרָ֥א אֱלֹהִ֖ים לַֽעֲשֽׂוֹת: That he himself created to do. וירֵא כִּי טוֹב, וירֵא כִּי טוֹב, הוּא רָאָה כִּי טוֹב מְאֹד וירֵא כִּי טוֹב, וירֵא כִּי טוֹב, הוּא רָאָה כִּי טוֹב מְאֹד

When I’m down When I’m blue When they claim, that's not true I’ll recall That I’m strong I can tell right from wrong You got to rise above it You got to let yourself shine Oh no you won’t let nothin’ stop you You know that soon you will be fine You got to push through it all You gotta keep standin’ tall You can rise above it all the time When I’m tired, And I don’t belong When I’m right, And you’re wrong I’ll find strength, Patience pays Oh God works In mysterious ways You got to rise above it… So rise up Dry your tears Though it may not seem like much We all share the same fears You got to rise above it...

Oh lord my god please teach me how to bless and pray The truth of falling leaves And fruits of summers day The freedom that it brings - to see to feel to breath To know, to yearn, and even fail Teach my lips a song that tells us how to praise The morning and the nights the secrets of your ways Guide my mind to find the truth, see through the haze 'cause I don't want no ordinary days Teach me how to see, teach me how to pray The truth of falling leaves And fruits of summers day Teach my lips a song that tells me how to praise No I don't want no ordinary days

about

Adama Ve'Shamayim is my newish-jewish album. Years of songleading, summer camps, Jewish communities in Israel and the world have brought these originals to life and I feel really capture the essence of what Judaism means to me.

The album has a unique combination of English and Hebrew, new and from the bible, and gives many ideas of peace, love, community and togetherness.

It's my hope that you find and receive whatever you see and feel when you listen. And most of all, enjoy.

אדמה ושמיים הוא האלבום היהודי פלורליסטי החדש שלי (זה נשמע יותר מצחיק באנגלית). שנותיי כמנחה שירה, במחנות קיץ וקהילות יהודיות בארץ ובעולם, הביאו את השירים המקוריים שלי לחיים ומצליחים לתפוס את משמעות היהדות עבורי.

האלבום מכיל שילוב ייחודי של עברית ואנגלית, חדש ומהמקורות, ומכיל רעיונות של שלום, אהבה, קהילה וביחדנס.

תקוותי היא שהמילים והמוזיקה ישפיעו עליכם על הצד הטוב ביותר, ושכל אחד ייקח מהם את מה שהוא צריך לקחת. והכי הכי חשוב, להנות
