L’CHA DODI ‫לכה דודי‬ Initial melody composed by Shlomo Carlebach Native American Melody as heard at Kehilat Kol Haneshama, Jerusalem :‫ פְּ נֵי ַשׁבָּ ת נְקַ בְּ לָ ה‬.‫דוֹדי לִ קְ ַראת כַּ לָּ ה‬ ִ ‫לְ כָ ה‬ L’cha dodi lik-rat ka-la, p’nei sha-bat n’ka-be-la: .‫וּשׁמוֹ אֶ חָ ד‬ ְ ‫ ְי ָי אֶ חָ ד‬.‫ הִ ְשׁמִ יﬠָ ֽנוּ אֵ ל הַ מְּ יֻחָ ד‬,‫ָשׁמוֹר וְ זָכוֹר בְּ ִדבּוּר אֶ חָ ד‬ ...‫ לכה‬:‫לְ ֵשׁם וּלְ ִתפְ ֶ ֽא ֶרת וְ לִ ְתהִ לָּ ה‬ Sha-mor ve-za-chor b’di-bur e-chad, Hish-mi-a-nu el ha-me-yu-chad.

(Refrain) “Keep” and “Remember” as a single word, the singular God caused us to hear. Adonai is One, God’s name is one; to God are honor and glory and praise. (Refrain) Come with me to meet Shabbat, for it is a fountain of blessing. Still it flows, as from the start: the last of days, for which the first was made. (Refrain) Awake, awake, your light has come! Arise, shine, awake and sing: the Eternal’s glory dawns upon you. (Refrain) Enter in peace, O crown of Love; enter in gladness, enter in joy. Come to the people that keeps its faith. Come in, O bride! Come in, O bride! ADONAI S’FATAI Composed by Noah Aronson :‫אֲ דֹנָי ְשׂפָ ַתי ִתּפְ ָתּח וּפִ י יַגִּ יד ְתּהִ לָּ ֶתָך‬ Adonai, s’fa-tai tif-tach, u-fi ya-gid t’hi-la-teh-cha. Adonai, open up my lips, that my mouth may declare Your praise.

Zeh ei-li a-nu v’am-ru: Adonai yim-loch l’o-lam va-ed. Who is like You, Adonai, among the mighty? Who is like You, Majestic in holiness, Awesome in splendor, Maker of miracles? Your children beheld Your majesty when the sea parted before Moses. “This is my God,” they responded in song, “The Eternal shall reign forever and ever!” (Ex.15).

Let all Israel keep Shabbat, observing Shabbat for all generations as an everlasting Covenant. It is between Me and Israel, a sign forever, that in six days the Eternal One made the heavens and the earth; but on the seventh day, God rested and breathed a new soul into the world.
