שיר חדש זמרו |
This song
discusses how the Syrian Jews were saved from the Muslim "Massacre of 1850" against
the Christians. Many Christians were murdered, but the Jews were left
untouched. Written by R. Shemuel Moursiye. Song first located in Miqra
Qodesh that was printed in Livorno in 5624 (1863/1864). These riots are well
documented and based upon the historical evidence they began on October
17,1850 which was the second night of the Muslim feast of 'Id El Adha. |

אגדלך אלהי |
The song was written by Abraham Ibn Ezra in
12th century, Spain. Discussing the relationship between man and the
Creator. There are many emotions here including the mortality of man. There
is more than one melody to this song, however the Syrian Jews commonly use
the one in Sigah. |

במוצאי יום מנוחה |
Very old pizmon. Found in Mahzor Vitry. Its composer is Ya'acob Manoi, whose
name is spelled in the acrostic beginning with the second stanza. It begins
with a plea that God gather Israel together from exile during the coming
week. It asks that He redeem Israel from its current state of degradation
and bring it to the Temple. Closes with a prayer for Elijah the prophet,
traditionally the herald of the Messiah. |
G. Shrem |

Talks about Eliyahu HaNabi. The song is accrostic. Asks
for fulfillment of national aspirations and asks for Eliyahu to announce the
redemption. |
G. Shrem |
ראו בנים |
|
78- I |
אגיל ואשמח |
Siman: "Elazar". According to traditon, Eliyahu
will be the one to announce the Messiah, and it has been promised to Israel
that the announcement won't come on a Friday night/Shabbat. Therefore, it is
a custom to start and ask/wait for the Messiah starting Saturday night from
the moment that Shabbat is over. |

אל אליהו |
R' Abraham Ibn Ezra- Spain- 12th century. There are many different
melodies to this song. Eliyahu, who will be the announcer of the redemption
will hopefully come on a Saturday night right after Shabbat and in zechut
(merit) that we have observed the Shabbat. The pizmon ends in prayer. |
G. Shrem |
|
|

אליהו הנביא |
The pizmon, which we have no melody
for, is devoted exclusively to the praise of Elijah the prophet. There
are 22 stanzas that begin with the word "ish"(man). The second word for
each verse is an alphabetic acrostic. |

המבדיל בין קודש |
The pizmon was composed by Yithak Kattan, whose
name is formed by the acrostic of the stanzas. The new week begins with a
prayer of forgiveness. Hatam Sofer writes that this pizmon was originally
to be recited for the conclusion of Yom Kippur due to its frequent reference
to forgiveness. Each stanza ends with the word "lailah" (night).
