Al Hasela Hoch

Lyrics:

Transliteration:

Al Hasela Hoch Vayeitz'u Moyim

Translation:

[When Your cherished people thirsted for water,] he struck the rock and there streamed forth water.

Prayer of Geshem (rain) in the Musaf service of Shemini Atzeres

The melody is adapted to the words of the prayer for rain -- Tefilas Geshem, relating how Moses struck the stone and there came forth water. The listener immediately begins to keep time with the joyful rhythms of this song. This melody is usually sung during the hakofot of Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah.
