V’haer Eineinu
Suggested Donation: $1.00
Description
V’haer Eineinu is an excerpt from Ahavah Rabbah, one of the morning prayers between Barchu and Sh’ma. The theme of Ahavah Rabbah is love of Torah. V’haer Eineinu asks God to open our eyes and our hearts to the teachings of Torah. The goal is for us to live in such a way that we never stumble, never feel shame, and never need rebuke. A tall order, to be sure, but one very much worth pursuing.
Billy wrote this song for the High Holy Days 2022/5783, ‘tho it’s certainly useable for weekdays and Shabbat. The recording features a duet between him and Cantor Ellen Dreskin. Billy maintains that the horns in the arrangement are not a necessity for presentation and they may be excluded or, if preferred, played by gentler instruments.
lyrics
V’ha-er ei-nei-nu b’To-ra-te-cha
V’da-beyk lee-bei-nu b’mitz-vo-te-cha
V’ya-cheid l’va-vei-nu l’a-ha-vah
Ul’yir-ah et sh’me-kha et sh’me-cha.
V’lo ne-vosh v’lo ni-ka-lem
V’lo ni-ka-shel l’o-lam va-ed
Ki v’shem kod-sh’cha ha-ga-dol v’ha-no-ra
Ba-tach-nu.
V’ya-cheid l’va-vei-nu l’a-ha-vah
Ul’yir-ah et sh’me-kha et sh’me-cha.
By the light of Your Word that illumines our way,
Help us love and revere deeds of truth and justice,
So that we’ll ne-ver fall.
That’s the gift of heeding Your call.
We thank You.
V’ha-er ei-nei-nu b’To-ra-te-cha
V’da-beyk lee-bei-nu
V’da-beyk lee-bei-nu
V’da-beyk lee-bei-nu
b’mitz-vo-te-cha.
Literal translation: Enlighten us with Your Teaching, help us to hold fast to Your commandments, and unite us in our hearts to love and revere Your name. Then we will never stumble, never feel shame, and never deserve rebuke. In You, the great, holy and awesome One, we place our trust.
