Nichoach - Chassidic Melodies

Hu Elokeinu

Lyrics:

Transliteration:

Hu elokeinu, Hu Ovinu, Hu Malkeinu, Hu Moshieinu, Hu Yoshieinu V'yigoleinu Sheinis B'korov, V'yashmieinu B'rachamov L'einuei Kol Chai Leimor: Hein Goalti Eschem Acharis Kivreishis, Lih'yos Lochem Leilokim.

Translation:

"He is our G-d. He is our father, He is our King. He is our Redeemer. He is our Deliverer. He will deliver us, and redeem us once more, shortly; and in His mercy He will let us hear, in the presence of all living, proclaiming; Behold, I have redeemed you at the end of time as in the days of yore, To be to you for a G-d."

Kedushah "keser" recited during the Shabbat and holid prayers.

This lively melody is very expressive of its text. It conveys steadfast belief and confidence in the approaching imminent full redemption. As we sing in this prayer "Veyigoleinu Sheinis B'korov"-- He will redeem us once more, shortly. This melody is therefore one of the favorites of the Rebbe and is frequently sung at the Chassidic gatherings.

Fifty years ago, this melody was sung in Lubavitch and afterwards in Rostov-on-the-Don, Russia. The famous cantor, the Chassid Reb Yechiel Hacohen Halpern used this melody for the "Keter" in the Musaf Amidah prayer, when leading the congregation in prayer during the High Holidays, during the time of the then Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Sholom Ber Schneersohn.

This is one of the melodies taught by the Lubavitcher Rebbe on Simchat Torah evening 1963 (5724) following Hakofot, together with melody Ki Onu Amecho on this recording.

The Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson
