יַעְלָה יַעְלָה בּוֹאִי לְגַנִּי הֵנֵץ רִמּוֹן פָּרְחָה גַּפְנִי Join me in the garden, lovely spirit. The pomegranate is budding. My vine is blossoming too.

Oseh Shalom 05:34
May the one who creates peace on high bring peace to us, to all Israel, and to all those who dwell on earth. Grant peace to the world with goodness and blessing. May wars and bloodshed be abolished from the world. ‎עוֹשֶׂה שָׁלוֹם בִּמְרוֹמָיו ‎ הוּא יַעֲשֶׂה שָׁלוֹם עָלֵינוּ ‎וְעַל כָּל יִשְׂרָאֵל וְעַל יוֺשְׁבֵי תֵבֶל ‎שִׂים שָׁלוֹם בָּעוֹלָם ‎ טוֹבָה וּבְרָכָה ‎שֶׁתְּבַטֵּל מִלְחָמוֹת וּשְׁפִיכוּת דָּמִים מִן הָעוֹלָם Isaiah 2:4 in Persian: ‎مردم از شمشیرهای خود گاوآهن...قومی به روی قوم دیگر شمشیر نمی‌کشد و برای جنگ و خونریزی آماده نمی‌شود. They shall beat their swords into plowshares...nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

Am Ne'emanay 04:18
My faithful nation, seed of the believers Praise God, for His benevolence triumphed. In the days of Matityah, ally of God, The Almighty remembered his flock. His children, who sprang from his loins Went in his ways, donned his priestly garb. עַם נֶאֱמָנַי זֶרַע אֱמוּנַי הוֹדוּ לַה' כִּי גָבַר חַסְדּוֹ בִּימֵי מַתִּתְיָה זָקֵן יְדִיד יָהּ רַב עֲלִילִיָּה פָּקַד צֹאן יָדוֹ בָּנָיו חֲנִיכָיו יוֹצְאֵי יְרֵכָיו הָלְכוּ בִדְרָכָיו לָבְשׁוּ אֶת מַדּוֹ

Ayni Tzofiah 05:28
עיני צופיה לך חונן. בקול נעים שיר ארנן עיר קדשך מהר כונן. יה צורי שוכן עלייה לעושה שמיים – עיני צופיה לרוקע הארץ – עיני צופיה My eye longs for You, Oh Merciful One. With a mellifluous voice, I will sing to you. Restore Your holy city, without delay, Oh God of the heights To the Maker of the Heavens—my eye longs for you To the Creator of the Earth—my eye longs for you

Lecha Dodi 02:49
לְכָה דוֹדִי לִקְרַאת כַּלָּה פְּנֵי שַׁבָּת נְקַבְּלָה Come, my beloved, to welcome the bride; Let us greet Shabbat as she arrives Rouse yourself, rouse yourself For your lamp is lit; let the flame rise up and glow. Awake awake, utter songs of praise, For God’s glory is revealed in your gaze

Hamavdil 03:09
הַמַּבְדִּיל בֵּין קדֶשׁ לְחול חַטּאתֵינוּ הוא יִמְחול זַרְעֵנוּ וְכַסְפֵּנוּ יַרְבֶּה כַּחול וְכַכּוכָבִים בַּלָּיְלָה May the one who separates the holy and the everyday, forgive any sins and slights. May our families and our fortunes be as many as the grains of sand, or the stars in the sky at night

בָּאנוּ חוֹשֶׁךְ לְגָרֵשׁ בְּיָדֵינוּ אוֹר וָאֵשׁ כָּל אֶחָד הוּא אוֹר קָטָן וְכֻלָנוּ אוֹר אֵיתָן סוּרָה חוֹשֶׁךְ הָלְאָה שְחוֹר סוּרָה מִפְּנֵי הָאוֹר We've come to chase away the darkness We bear light and fire Each glimmer is small But together, our blaze is fierce Flee, darkness, go away, night Flee, before the light וְאָהַבְתָּ לְרֵעַךָ כָּמוֹךָ Love your neighbor as yourself (Leviticus 19:18) וְגֵר לֹא תוֹנֶה וְלֹא תִלְחָצֶנּוּ כִּי גֵרִים הֱיִיתֶם בְּאֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם. "You shall not wrong a stranger or oppress him, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt" (Exodus 22:20)

אֵל נוֹרָא עֲלִילָה אֵל נוֹרָא עֲלִילָה הַמְצִיא לָנוּ מְחִילָה בִּשְׁעַת הַנְּעִילָה God of awe, God of might, God of awe, God of might, Grant us pardon in this hour, as Your gates are closed this night. Our ancestors—strong in faith—walked in Your light. As of old, renew our days, as Your gates are closed this night.

about

The impetus for recording our 2nd album occurred in 2016 after the devastating results of the US presidential election. We felt that we had something to say and that the world needed an all-female Middle Eastern Jewish album that celebrated what connects us, rather than what tears us apart. We titled the album “Shalhevet” (flame) because we hoped that we could offer some light amidst the sometimes darker world we find ourselves in. We had no idea we would be releasing the album amidst a global pandemic but hope that our music offers some light to during this time.
