Miriam Ha-Neviah(Miriam the Prophet)*

When your family sings “Elihu HaNavi” at the seder, try adding these words about Miriam, sung to the same melody, written by Rabbi Leila Gal Berner.

Miriam HaNeviah  
Oz v’zimra b’yadah  
Miriam tirkod itanu l’hagdil zimrat olam  
Miriam tirkod itanu l’taken et ha-olam  
Bimherah v’yameynu hi tevi-eynu  
el mey ha-yeshua, el mey ha-yeshua.

Miriam, the prophet, strength and song are in her hands,
Miriam will dance with us to strengthen the world’s song,
Miriam will dance with us to heal the world.
Soon, and in our time, she will bring us
To the waters of redemption.
