Am Yisrael Chai! ַעם ִיֹשָרֵאל ַחי Text: unknown Music: Noam Katz (inspired by the Abayudaya Jews of Uganda)

Am-eh am-eh am-eh Yis-ra-el chai! ַעם ִיֹשָרֵאל ַחי

O--oh--od-eh A-vi-nu chai! עֹוד ַאִבינּו ַחי The Jewish people lives! Our God yet lives!

Note: In Luganda, a native dialect of Uganda, a vowel sound is often added to

the end of words that normally end in a consonant. The Abayudaya have

adopted this speech pattern in their pronunciation of modern Hebrew. This

song reflects that melding of two cultures, two languages interacting with each

other to reveal one universal message—that the strength of God and the Jewish

people will live on

Hinei Mah Tov ִהֵנה ַמה ּטֹוב Text: Psalm 133:1 Music: Abayudaya

Hi-nei mah tov u-ma-na-im ִהֵנה ַמה ּטֹוב ּוַמה ָנִעים

She-vet a-chim gam ya-chad. .ת ַאִחים ַגם ָיַחד בֶׁ שֶׁHow good and pleasant it is for brothers and sisters to sit together.
