Transliteration:
Barcheinu avinu kulanu k’echad b’or panechah
English Translation:
Bless us, our father, in the light of your face we
are all as one.
There is something magical about Shlomo’s melody for this song. I imagine that when we say “by the light of your face”, we mean to be face to face with out creator.
To me the melody and the idea inspires awe, joy and wistfulness. The “niggun” in the middle of the song is my own creation added to this beautiful melody.
