Text

(א) שׁ֤וּבִי שׁ֙וּבִי֙ הַשּׁ֣וּלַמִּ֔ית שׁ֥וּבִי שׁ֖וּבִי וְנֶחֱזֶה־בָּ֑ךְ.

(ז) מַה־יָּפִית֙ וּמַה־נָּעַ֔מְתְּ אַהֲבָ֖ה בַּתַּֽעֲנוּגִֽים׃

(1) Turn back, turn back, O maid of Shulem!
Turn back, turn back, That we may gaze upon you.
(7) How fair you are, how beautiful! O Love, with all its rapture!

Resources

Method

More than the melodies! At Nava Tehila, we've developed chant-based prayer services that are inclusive, ecstatic, and transformative. Ready to bring this musical prayer method to your community? Check out our tutorials.

Kavvanot

In the Nava Tehila method, kavvanot — intentions for inner engagement with the words of prayer — are developed through close attention to the language of the psalms: Pshat, Midrash, and Kabbalistic and Hasidic illumination.
