V'Shamru / Nigun Yinafash - Rabbi Deborah Sacks Mintz (video)

 

A song for Shabbat - V’shamru ושמרו

We enter this precious 25 hours of rejuvenation with the recognition that pause in the act of doing - rest from the bustle of the work of daily life - is not just a gift, but a brit - a covenant; recharging ourselves as sacred responsibility.

Prepare to enter this space of sacred rejuvination with this nigun, from R. Deborah Sacks Mintz's album Yetzira - available everywhere you get your music.

וְשָׁמְר֥וּ בְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל אֶת־הַשַּׁבָּ֑ת

לַעֲשׂ֧וֹת אֶת־הַשַּׁבָּ֛ת לְדֹרֹתָ֖ם בְּרִ֥ית עוֹלָֽם

בֵּינִ֗י וּבֵין֙ בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל א֥וֹת הִ֖וא לְעֹלָ֑ם

כִּי־שֵׁ֣שֶׁת יָמִ֗ים עָשָׂ֤ה ה אֶת־הַשָּׁמַ֣יִם וְאֶת־הָאָ֔רֶץ

וּבַיּוֹם֙ הַשְּׁבִיעִ֔י שָׁבַ֖ת וַיִּנָּפַֽשׁ׃

B'nai Yisrael shall keep Shabbat,

observing Shabbat throughout the ages as a covenant for all time.

It is a sign for all time between Me and B'nai Yisrael.

For in six days God made heaven and earth,

and on the seventh day God ceased from work and rested.
