Many Jews on becoming Christian have found that they can effectivly incorporate certain cultural aspects from their Judaism in celebrating the holidays of their newfound faith. One such example of this is that many of us who have converted to Christianity enjoy playing the Hava Nagila at Pascha. Here are the lyrics.
H�va nag�la, h�va nag�la,
H�va nag�la, venismech�.
H�va nag�la, h�va nag�la,
H�va nag�la, venismech�.
H�va ner�nena, h�va ner�nena,
H�va ner�nena, venismech�.
H�va ner�nena, h�va ner�nena,
H�va ner�nena, venismech�.
�ru, �ru, ach�m,
�ru, ach�m, bel�v sam�ach.
�ru, ach�m, bel�v sam�ach.
�ru, ach�m, bel�v sam�ach.
�ru, ach�m, bel�v sam�ach.
�ru, ach�m,
�ru, ach�m, bel�v sam�ach.
Come let�s dance, come let�s dance,
Come let�s dance, and be merry!
Come let�s dance, come let�s dance,
Come let�s dance, and be merry!
Come let�s whirl, come let�s whirl,
Come let�s whirl, and be merry!
Come let�s whirl, come let�s whirl,
Come let�s whirl, and be merry!
Rise, rise, brothers!
Rise, brothers, with a glad heart.
Rise, brothers, with a glad heart.
Rise, brothers, with a glad heart.
Rise, brothers, with a glad heart.
Rise, brothers!
Rise, brothers, with a glad heart.
It is a song about rejoicing, and what better time to rejoice than during the season of Holy Pascha? So give it a listen.
Ha-Masiah qom ; be-emet qom!!!
