Text from Psalm 150 (Hebrew) and Will Robertson (English)
Soloist: Will Robertson
Our chorus director’s energetic redo of Psalm 150 became an immediate hit with the congregation, especially b’nai mitzvah families. In services, Will encourages everyone to join in, saying, “There are only four Hebrew words, and one of them is halleluyah.”
lyrics
Kol han’shamah tehalel yah
Halleluyah
(Let every thing that has breath praise God
Halleluyah)
There’s something alive inside this room
It’s setting the strings of our souls in tune
You can feel it rise from the earth below
Sure as that river of rhythm flows
It is our fire and we’ll make it climb
Fanning the flames with your voice and mine
Singing with strength and with kavanah
Kol han’shamah tehalel yah!

It is awakening, moving, and thought/action provoking. Thank you for holding out the messages in these melodies. The album is guided my awareness towards a deep way of living. ctrammell2020
This work is a reflection of the considerate loving kindness of the composers.
I was fortunate to have been a choir student of Rebekka Goldsmith.

It is rich in women's energy, deeply felt sounds of womb energy. A beautiful expression of the best of women in the Jewish hera-tage! Chana Raskin moves my soul, an Irish soul have I! Morgana Morgaine mollymaven
