about

A relatively modern addition to our liturgy, the words of Miriam HaNivia (Miriam the Prophetess) accompany the traditional text of Eliyahu HaNavi (Elijah the Prophet), whom we invoke as we end shabbat and enter the week with the ritual of Havdalah. This spirited new musical setting by Beth Styles, commissioned by the PAS Music Center as part of the Family Siddur Project, recalls the moment in our collective history when Miriam took a timbrel in her hand and led the Israelites in music and dance. We hope that this new premiere will bring more song and dance to your life, both inside and outside of the synagogue walls!

lyrics

Miriam ha-nʼviah, Miriam ha-nʼviah
Oz vʼzimrah bʼyadah, Miriam ha-nʼviah
Lai la lai la lai lai lai, oz v'zimrah
Lai la lai la lai lai lai. b'yadah
Miriam tirkod, tirkod itanu, lʼhagdil zimrat olam,
Miriam tirkod, tirkod itanu, lʼtaken et ha-olam.
La la lai la, la la lai la, Bimheirah vʼyameinu
La la lai la, la la lai la, Hi tʼvi·enu
La la lai la, la la lai la, la la lai la, la la lai la
La la lai la, la la lai la el mei ha-yʼshuah.
Miriam, the prophetess, strength and song are in her hands,
Miriam will dance with us, and lift the hearts of every soul
Miriam will dance, dance with us and sing to heal the world
La la lai la, la la lai la, Bimheirah vʼyameinu
La la lai la, la la lai la, Hi tʼvi·enu
La la lai la, la la lai la, la la lai la, la la lai la
La la lai la, la la lai la el mei ha-yʼshuah.
