Text
(ד) לֹא־יִשָּׂ֨א ג֤וֹי אֶל־גּוֹי֙ חֶ֔רֶב וְלֹֽא־יִלְמְד֥וּ ע֖וֹד מִלְחָמָֽה׃
(ה) לְכ֥וּ וְנֵלְכָ֖ה בְּא֥וֹר יהוה׃
(זכריה ח, יט) וְהָאֱמֶ֥ת וְהַשָּׁל֖וֹם אֱהָֽבוּ:
And they shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks: Nation shall not take up sword against nation; They shall never again know war.
Come, let us walk by the light of YHVH.
And you must lover truth and peace.
Lo yisa goy el goy cherev velo yilmedu od milchama.
Lechu ve-nelcha be'or Havayah.
Ve-ha'emet ve-hashalom ehavu.

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.
