A Song for Shabbat: Im HaGolan or With the Golan
Listen to Rabbi Batzri sing Im HaGolan on youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWihaNt09Rs
Im ha’Golan—shalom b’kheylekh; Ba’rama—shalvat armenotayikh
Ve’rav shlom banayikh—bonayikh; Shalom rav le’ohavey—torotayikh
Ve’hotzeti, ve’hitzalti, ve’gaalti, ve’lakakhti, ve’heveti etkhem el ha’aretz asher
nasati et yadi. Im ha’Golan ...
Mi asher yaaleh b’daato. Lered meh’rosh tzurim behto. Yistom mekorot mey
khemdato. Yafkir amo nakhalato. Yivtakh b’tzur rav moshiyo. Lo yiten lashvi
uzo. Yishmor artzo mekhorato. Atid amo mivtakh ha’yetzur kulam. Im ha’Golan...
Netivey yosher im nishmor. Derekh avotenu nintor. Zakhor Shabbat v’gam
shamor. Nakhala bli mehtzarim nigdor. Nishma ba’aretz kol ha’tor. La’mnatzeakh shir mizmor. Alo naaleh le’har haMor. B’vo go-el likro dror. Le’am olam:
Im ha’Golan …
By the Golan
By the Golan—there is peace in Your forces
In the heights—the tranquility of Your palaces
And great is the well-being of Your children—Your ones who create
A great peace shall there be for those who love Your teachings.
“And I took you out, and I rescued you, and I redeemed you, and I took you [to
be My own], and I brought you to the land when I forgave.” By the Golan ...
He who will consider leaving [the land of Israel], the summit, the rock fortress of
His home. He will block the springs of the waters of His love. He will desert his
nation, [the streams of] his heritage. He who will trust the great rock of his Redeemer. He will not allow his strength to be captured. He will safeguard his
country, his place of origin. The future of His nation is a safeguard for all creatures, all. By the Golan ...
If we keep the ways of honesty [and virtue]. [If] we watch over the way of our
fathers. Remember Shabbat and protect it. A heritage, [an inheritance] without
bounds we will enclose. We will hear in the land [of Israel] the call of the turtledove. To the victorious, a song, a psalm. Let us go up to the mountain at the
coming of the Redeemer to proclaim freedom for the Jewish people. By the Golan ...
This week’s Torah portion expresses G-d’s love for
the land of Israel, Eretz Israel, and the importance of
the connection between the Jewish people to the
land of Israel. According to Ramba"m, also known as
Maimonides, all areas that King David included in his
kingdom are still considered part of Eretz Israel. So,
the Golan, also known as the Golan Heights, are part
of Israel. Here is the song written by Rabbi Meir Mazooz in tribute to the Golan and in recognition of its
spiritual power. It is sung in the Maqam of this week
"Nahwand”, by Rabbi Batzri.
