When I teach “Mi Chamocha” to my Hebrew students, I explain the context of the Ge’ulah, the last section of the Shema, where we take a moment to recall the Exodus from Egypt.  Among other things, I remind them that the first thing the Israelites did once they were safely across the Sea of Reeds was to have a giant dance party, and that’s where the text of “Mi Chamocha” comes from.  I think this is an entirely appropriate way to set this text!  It’s got a beat, and you can certainly dance to it!

When You Believe (Prince of Egypt)

Ashira ladonai; ki ga-oh ga-ah/Mi chamocha ba-elim adonai/Mi kamocha ne-edar bakodesh/Nachita b'chasd'cha am zu ga-alta?Ashira, ashira, ashira!

"So this movie is about the book of exodus and this scene is when moses is leading all of the israelites to freedom and as a jew this hits SO HARD because for thousands of years we have fought and persevered and sung and danced and celebrated life!!!!!!!! i love being jewish aaaaah"

Farewell Wonderlust (The Amazing Devil)

I promise you im not broken, I promise you there's more/More to come, more to reach more, more to hurl at the door/Goodbye to all my darkness, there's nothing here but light/Adieu to all the faceless things that sleep with me at night/This here is not makeup, it's a porcelain tomb/And this here is not singing, I'm just screaming in tune

This here is not makeup, it's a porcelain tomb/And this here is not singing, I'm just screaming in tune

I'm the face that stares back when the screen goes to black/When your mom says you look healthy/But you know she means you got fat/I'm the tales that the guests will applaud and believe/I'm the child that you just didn't have time to conceive

"You may have taken me, and made me, but I am more than what you think, and I will /not/ let you ruin me."

"I have literally fucked up my throat by yelling this song really loudly while driving. Like, my voice was weird for multiple days afterwards. I can't put it into words but everyone I've ever heard mention the amazing devil has been so fucked up by this song."

"Ok I KNOW that this isn't going to win because no one knows the song. therefore the only mark i can leave is this rant ok. So I apologise in advance but: but did you read that absolute CALLOUT section of the lyrics i put up there?? that is only a SECTION ok. this song is so fucking weird its like someone is reaching into your soul strings and pulling on tangling them making u Feel Things like WOW. its such a. callout isnt the rigjt word for it. it just fucks one up ok. like honestly just pls pls i beg of u listen to the song or even just read the entire lyrics its so. you'll get what I mean."

"It’s about breaking under the weight of expectations and showing the world yourself in all of your imperfect, ugly, and raw glory."

The challot are not pareve don't tell the super frum community but they are stuffed with hierba buena and queso fresco, shabbat shirah means a lot this year, the mi chamocha will be sung not just to remember our past freedom, but hopefully for the imminent freedom of Palestinians under occupation

“Bastard angel.” Crowley breathed, reveling in the scent of Aziraphale’s new cologne.

“Benevolent demon.” Aziraphale replied, his eyes trailing down from Crowley’s serpentine eyes towards his lips.

Now, Crowley could only smell fire.

01:19:56 –– Especially here, when the kids start singing the Song of the Sea. In the text, this is sung after the Israelites cross the Sea of Reeds, but honestly, it’s so gorgeous here that I don’t even care.

Hebrew translation: 

Ashira l’adonai ki ga’oh ga’ah = I will sing unto G-d, for He has triumphed gloriously (Exod. 15:1) 

mi chamocha ba’eilim Adonai = who is like You, G-d, among the celestials (Exod. 15:11) 

mi kamocha ne’edar bakodesh = who is like You, majestic in holiness (Exod. 15:11) 

nachitah v’chasdecha amzu ga’altah = in Your love You lead the people You redeemed (Exod. 15:13)

Tonight in temple we danced during Mi Chamocha for the first time since I started attending and I got to be a Visible Trans and join in and we all held hands and danced around the sanctuary...

[call-boy]

my one uncle brought a boom box to the seder for Let My People Go but it was playing the Louis Armstrong version lmao it was lowkey fire and brought us onto the topic of Prince of Egypt having the best soundtrack of any animated movie... like no version of the Mi Chamocha goes harder tbh

I’ve also been working on Mi Chamocha with one of my students.  Mi Chamocha is from the Ge’ulah, the last section of the Shema blessings before the Amidah.  This whole sequence happens in both Shacharit (the morning liturgy) and Ma’ariv (the evening liturgy), and it’s a very brief summary of the business end of the Exodus, the famous escape through the Sea of Reeds and the dance party afterwards.  Mi Chamocha actually comes in two versions, one for Shacharit and one for Ma’ariv.  This is the Ma’ariv version, sung to the tune used by Comunidad Bet El, a Masorti synagogue in Mexico City.

You and I have danced around the issue/And you think by now I wouldn't really miss you/Yet again we go on and on forever/Like we're metronomes falling out of sync together

[thelordofblades]

endlessly hunting for a rendition of mi chamocha that holds a candle to my last rabbi's

[biologicallyimprobable]

Mi Chamocha, the Song of the Sea, which is apparently older than the bulk of Exodus. Although the original tune is long lost, the lyrics were probably written between the 5th and 13th centuries BCE.

please do look it up if you dont know the date bc there may be at least an approximate answer and otherwise the last option will completely dominate and this poll will be boring.

and dont be like 'but i cant sing'... just answer the earliest tune you know well enough that you COULD sing it

periods of western classical music provided only for reference

When you believe by Ariel, Anna and Carlos.

Ariel: Many nights we've prayed

With no proof anyone would hear

In our hearts a hopeful song we barely understood

Now we are not afraid

Although we know there's much to fear

We were moving mountains long before we knew we could

There can be miracles when you believe

Though hope is frail it's hard to kill

Who knows what miracles you can achieve

When you believe, somehow you will

You will when you believe

Anna: In that time of fear when prayer so often proved in vain

Hope seemed like the summer birds; too swiftly flown away

Yet now we’re standing here

Ariel: Now we’re standing here

Anna: With heart so full I can't explain

Both:Seeking faith and speaking words I never thought I'd say

There can be miracles when you believe

Ariel: When you believe)

Anna: Though hope is frail it's hard to kill

Ariel: It's hard to kill

Both: Who knows what miracles you can achieve

Ariel: You can achieve)

Both: When you believe, somehow you will

You will when you believe

Carlos: Ashira ladonai; ki ga-oh ga-ah

Ashira ladonai; ki ga-oh ga-ah

Mi chamocha ba-elim adonai

Mi kamocha ne-edar bakodesh

Nachita b'chasd'cha am zu ga-alta

Nachita b'chasd'cha am zu ga-alta

Ashira, ashira, ashira

Ashira ladonai; ki ga-oh ga-ah

Ashira ladonai; ki ga-oh ga-ah

Mi chamocha ba-elim adonai

Mi kamocha ne-edar bakodesh

Nachita b'chasd'cha am zu ga-alta

Nachita b'chasd'cha am zu ga-alta

Ashira, ashira, ashira!

All three: There can be miracles when you believe

Though hope is frail it's hard to kill

Ariel: It's hard to kill)

All three: Who knows what miracles you can achieve

Ariel: You can achieve

All three: When you believe, somehow you will

Now you will

You will when you believe

Carlos: When you believe

Ariel and Anna: You will when you believe
