There was a "haben yakir li" that people used to sing way back, particularly in Camp Sternberg, with beautiful harmonies. I know it was originally on a tape or CD. Anyone know who may have sung it? Thanks.

Anon again as I've been linking all three songs (the two from the other recent threads I posted) in my discussions with others who are on Imamother too.

You starting a choir or something? Very Happy

can you clarify? there are a few haben yakir songs I can think of. Is it the Dveykus one? Very slow and heartful? Is it only the hebrew or is there english lyrics also?

OP here. Not a choir but I've started singing and playing music again after not putting on a cd in ages so I'm on a roll :-). Anyway it's not Dveykus--it was something more obscure. How to convey a tune with words? And when I don't really read notes?? If it helps, it's a version where the word "shaashuim" is repeated twice.

ok the dveykus song I'm thinking about has the word 'sha'ashuim' twice.
Does the high part go like this:

Aaaal kein hamu mai'ai lo...racheim arachamenu ne'um ne'um hash-m

This is what I'm talking about. I love this song! Even if it's not what you want it was so nice to hear it again.

OP here. Thanks everyone. The link to the Dveykus tune is indeed beautiful, thank you for posting! Actually, the one that Bigsis 144 posted is what I was thinking of! I remember hearing it on tape years back. Let's see if someone can track that down.
