Wishing all celebrating the first night of Hanukkah today a blessed Festival of Lights! I just heard this traditional Jewish song for the first time this week and it has been stuck in my head, so I needed to arrange it, obviously. Jewish culture and heritage is so beautiful and rich- the day could not pass without honoring those who celebrate today. Here is the translation I found online- please correct me if you know better- I don’t speak Hebrew!
*
Unless the Lord builds the house, The builders labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain. Indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep,
will neither slumber nor sleep, Guardian of Israel.
