Lovesick חולת אהבה
פתחי לי אחותי רעיתי יונתי
פתחי לי רעיתי ישראל תמתי
I was asleep, my heart was awake
When I heard a sound
I was asleep, my heart was awake
When I heard
A knock at my door, a knock at my door
The voice of my Lover saying
“Open to Me, My sister My dove
My precious darling
Open to Me, My sister My dove
My flawless darling
Open to Me, Israel, My precious darling one”
פתחי לי אחותי רעיתי יונתי
But I did not want Him to come in
My Lover tried to open my door
He reached out His hand to my door, to my heart
פתחי לי אחותי רעיתי יונתי
פתחי לי רעיתי ישראל
פתחי לי רעיתי יונתי תמתי
I arose, I opened the door
But He had turned and gone
My heart jumped, skipping a beat
But my Beloved was gone
בנות ירשלים
אם תמצאו את דודי
מה תגידו לו
שחולת אהבה אני
Daughters of Jerusalem
Help me find my Lover
And if you find my Lover
Tell Him I am lovesick
חולת אהבה אני

Our days, our lives like morning dew
They quickly fade away
But in Your sight a thousand years

We ask You for tikkun olam
Heaven kissing earth
When will our eyes be satisfied
To see Your glory here, to see Your glory here?
We wait, we wait, we wait
What will it take till You reveal
Yourself to Israel?
What can we say to move Your heart
To lift the veil?
For Zion’s sake we wait to see
Her great awakening
Take back Your wife, take off her chains
And be her King, and be her King
Peace on earth, shalom al Yisrael, life from the dead
How long O Lord, how long O Lord, how long?
הוא לא מאחר,הוא לא מאחר, כי הוא יבוא
ויום יבוא, שהוא לא יום ולא לילה
He will not delay, He will not delay, for He will come
The day will come, known to the Lord – it is not day or night
Peace on earth, shalom al Yisrael, life from the dead

Not the time to remain silent
Not the time to fade away
So turn up the volume, Captain
Cuz it’s midnight at midday
There’s a riot in the streets
Politicians on every side
Rats are settin’ up a rat trap
There ain’t nowhere to hide
Troops are moving into position
And boots are definitely on the ground
There’s a Final Solution to Mid-East peace
They don’t want no Jews around
Well, the nations are united
They’re signin’ off on one accord
Don’t you know we’re on the eve of destruction
You could call it the Day of the Lord
Bullets whine through the desert
In Edom the war drum sounds
Ishmael and sons of Hagar
Desert storms are gatherin’ round
Tyre and Lebanon – they’re on the way
Palestinians fixing for a fight
Syria, Iraq and Jordan
Joinin’ in with all their might
Why the rage, why the vanity,
Kings and Queens and Presidents?
Take your shot at God Almighty
And drop your bombs on Jacob’s tents
Aim your weapon, take your stand
Gonna meet you down in the Promised Land
Lock n’ load, cannons roar
Meet you down on the killing floor
You can’t break the chains around you
You can’t throw away the holy yoke
You can hear the reverb of His laughter
But I think you didn’t get the joke
I have set My Son in Zion
And My Messiah rules the waves
The sun will never set on My empire
My people shall never be slaves
With a rod of burning iron
He will smash the rebel arm
So kiss the Son, lest He be angry
And you get sent to Parchman Farm
For here is wisdom, here is justice
All you judges of the earth
Stop your fighting ‘gainst My Kingdom
Y’ain’t never gonna win for what it’s worth

Every wall I will rebuild, every gap will be filled
As in days of long ago.”

Thanks to all those who contributed to this project with intercession, finances, hospitality, filling in for us at home, friendship and encouragement. God knows your name and address! Thanks to all the superb musicians who graced this project by their contributions. Special thanks to Avi Singolda, the intuitive poet with the golden guitar; Nimrod Elisar, drummer extrordinaire; Peter Wertheimer, a true Renaissance woodwind man; Kamal Zayid, for his thoughtful embroidery; Amir Shahs’har, a Persian shepherd with a heart like David; and Daniel Boskey, for giving us the privilege of playing with you on your first recording! Deep appreciation to Nati Patishi, who ate, breathed and slept this recording with us, weaving sensitivity and wisdom into the result.
Some of the unique instruments heard on this recording are: the ney, a Persian reed flute which rests on the upper teeth. Its sound most closely resembles a human voice. The qanun, originally an Egyptian trapezoidal zither or psaltery, consists of 75-81 strings in sets of three. The oud is an 8-stringed Arabic instrument and the father of both the lute and the guitar. The bouzouki is an 8-stringed Greek instrument with a long neck and a watermelon shaped body. The darbuka is an hourglass-shaped Middle Eastern hand drum. The daira (or da’irah or doyreh) is a Central Asian Bukharin frame drum; metal jinglets/rings are suspended on its internal frame. Copper plates are used for percussive effect in Yemenite Jewish music.
We dedicate this recording to Jacob’s children – that we may all enter into our amazing destiny. And to the body of Messiah – may God plant the seed of His burning heart for the Jewish people deep within your being! This music was birthed in the Middle East, where spiritual roots go back to Eden, to Abraham, to David and to the Messiah. May you enjoy drinking water from ancient wells!

Atone our sins for Your name’s sake.

Will Your covenant faithfulness be spoken about in the grave?
Will Your faithfulness be recounted in Abaddon?
Guardian of Israel hear our prayer!
Revive us, revive us and we will thank You!

To the right, to the left, forward and back,
We’re not able to move
The space is small and narrow.
The situation is getting worse
It’s reaching a crisis.
How can we take any more?
Father, how can we?
We can’t take any more, Father, we can’t.
(Our Father in Heaven, to where shall we turn?)
Chorus:
Because You are the One who brought us back.
You are the One who planted us in our land.
We have no way out; we have no answer.
We’re standing on a narrow bridge and there’s nowhere to turn.
Confused, desperate, all the solutions have run out.
We’re pointing an accusing and vengeful finger
At each other!
You are trapping us in Your mighty arms,
Shaking us to the foundations.
Only the skies are left to us.
Lift up our eyes unto You.
Chorus:
Because You are…
Our Father! Don’t shut the gates.
Open a window in heaven, rain down compassion.
Don’t shut the gates
Rain down Your mercies on us.
Don’t shut the gates.
Rain down Your compassions, rain down compassion.
Don’t shut the gates
Rain down Your mercies upon us.

Roll up the heavens and reveal Your face.
Reveal Yourself before us!
Roll up the heavens, reveal Your face.

Thanks
to all those who contributed time, support, and linguistic counsel (especially
Arieh Bar-David, Ornah Greenman, Ya’el, Mona Peled & Hannah Shilo),
intercession, encouragement, hospitality, and watching over our home
when we were in the studio.
Thanks to all the talented musicians! Special thanks to Avi Singolda, who embroidered beauty into every song; to Nimrod Elisar, drummer extrordinaire with a crazy sense of humor; to Amir Shahs’har, who contributed an incredible amount with an overflowing heart; to Avraham Salman, the humble genius; to Peter Wertheimer, a true Renaissance man; and to Daniel Boskey, for giving us the privilege of playing with you on your first recording! Heartfelt thanks to Nati Patishi, who nearly lived with us 24/7 throughout this recording, and wove a carpet of great beauty out of it all.
Thanks to Sharon Marcus for her help in translating these lyrics into English.
And above all, thanks to Yeshua, the Lord of the harvest and our outstanding Messiah!
This recording is dedicated to the coming generation, the people of the harvest. The ingathering of the people of Israel and the harvest of all the nations —life from the dead — await you!
The songs on this recording were written between Spring 1998 and Spring 2000.
Yeshua answered and said: “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. The field is the world. The good seed is the sons of the kingdom. And the bad weeds are the sons of evil. The enemy who sows them is the accuser (satan). The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters

This anonymous Ukrainian Jewish song was published in Saint Petersburg, Russia in 1901 by Shaul Moiseevitch Rosenberg (Еврейскія народныя пѣсни въ Россіи; ייִדישע פֿאָלקסלידער אין רוסלאַנד). The words express a deep longing to return to the Land of Israel, where all wrongs will be righted. The instrumentation reflects traditional acoustic klezmer music of the early 1800’s.

In the middle of the road stands a tree – it stands bent over
A Jew travels toward the Land of Israel with weeping eyes.
God, God, O great God! Too long have we suffered Exile!
When we travel back to the Land of Israel, it’ll be the end of our problems!
God, God, O great God! We will be presenters of righteous offerings (see Malachi 3:3)
When we travel back to the Land of Israel, it’ll be a great joy!
In the middle of the road stands a tree – roses are growing upon her.
A Jew travels toward the Land of Israel with ripped up pants.
God, God, O great God! You are a beloved Father!
When we travel back to the Land of Israel, then we will patch them all up!
God, God, O great God! It’s time to pray the Mincheh (afternoon prayers)
When we travel back to the Land of Israel, it’ll be joy and rejoicing!

[/accordion-item] [accordion-item title=”2. BEI DI TEICHN (Beside the Babylonian rivers)”]BEI DI TEICHN (Beside the Babylonian Rivers)
The words are based on Psalm 137:1-4. The original tune was published in Oxford, England on July 1, 1786 by Philip Hayes (composer, organist, singer and conductor). The Jewish man who penned the psalm was struggling to make sense of YHVH’s hand of judgment on His chosen people – the Exile to Babylon circa 587 B.C. That event kicked off the Scattering (Diaspora) of Israel and catalyzed the onset of the prophet Daniel’s Times of the Gentiles – Gentile dominion over the Jewish people. Biblical dreams of a Return to Zion would accompany our nation over the next 2,500 years.
Bei di teichn, bei di Bavlisher teichn
Hobn mir anidergezetz, bavaynt, geklogt far dir
Mir dermonen zich, dermonen zich, zichroynes fun Tziyon
Undzere bayzeh fanger, undzereh soynim un payniker
Farlangen fun undz tzu zingen, oy zmires, a Yiddish lid
Vi kenen mir zingen a hayliker nign oyf fremder un umrayniker erd?
Beside the Babylonian rivers we sat ourselves down, weeping, mourning for you.
We recall our memories of Zion. Our angry captors, our enemies and torturers request that we sing songs, wordless melodies, a Yiddish song – but how can we sing a holy melody on foreign and unclean soil? (see Amos 7:17; Hosea 9:3)
בּײַ די טײַכן בּײַ די בָּבֿלישער טײַכן

“I will raise up the booth of David that is fallen
Its ruins I will restore
Every wall I will rebuild, every gap will be filled
As in days of long ago.”
Build up, raise up Your kingdom and throne,
For the glory of Your mighty name
Your awesome name Elyon!

Take my hand and lead me to Your chambers
I’ll hold You and I will not let You go

My sight is dim and my heart is dull
My mind is darkened by iniquity
I lost the way and I cannot see
Find me Lord, lift the veil
Shine Your face on me
Remove the veil that my eyes may see
Remove the veil that hides You from me
Remove the veil that my eyes may see
Your beauty and Your glory, My Lord
Like a sheep I’ve gone astray
I’ve turned from You to my own way
But the blood You shed, spotless Lamb
Makes a way beyond the veil
And calls me back to You
Remove the veil . . .

Thanks to all those who contributed to this project with intercession, finances, hospitality, filling in for us at home, friendship and encouragement. God knows your name and address! Thanks to all the superb musicians who graced this project by their contributions. Special thanks to Avi Singolda, the intuitive poet with the golden guitar; Nimrod Elisar, drummer extrordinaire; Peter Wertheimer, a true Renaissance woodwind man; Kamal Zayid, for his thoughtful embroidery; Amir Shahs’har, a Persian shepherd with a heart like David; and Daniel Boskey, for giving us the privilege of playing with you on your first recording! Deep appreciation to Nati Patishi, who ate, breathed and slept this recording with us, weaving sensitivity and wisdom into the result.
Some of the unique instruments heard on this recording are: the ney, a Persian reed flute which rests on the upper teeth. Its sound most closely resembles a human voice. The qanun, originally an Egyptian trapezoidal zither or psaltery, consists of 75-81 strings in sets of three. The oud is an 8-stringed Arabic instrument and the father of both the lute and the guitar. The bouzouki is an 8-stringed Greek instrument with a long neck and a watermelon shaped body. The darbuka is an hourglass-shaped Middle Eastern hand drum. The daira (or da’irah or doyreh) is a Central Asian Bukharin frame drum; metal jinglets/rings are suspended on its internal frame. Copper plates are used for percussive effect in Yemenite Jewish music.
We dedicate this recording to Jacob’s children – that we may all enter into our amazing destiny. And to the body of Messiah – may God plant the seed of His burning heart for the Jewish people deep within your being! This music was birthed in the Middle East, where spiritual roots go back to Eden, to Abraham, to David and to the Messiah. May you enjoy drinking water from ancient wells!
