about

A niggun, a wordless melody, can be a sweet companion. This one came to me walking home to my apartment on St. Nicholas Avenue in Harlem one Friday night. It kept me company all that Shabbat, returning as a welcome visitor here and there over the next five years. Singing it with others for the first time, in 2022, after many years of isolation, was a mechayah, a life-giving moment. It gave this niggun new life, too. May we know we are never alone, as we find our way home.

Note: This melody also makes a lovely barchu.
