Singing as prayer

I was transported by our music and voices into a place of prayer/connection that I've longed for. Thank you for creating a space and liturgy so I did not have to translate metaphors in my head, but could sing and speak fully from my woman's heart and mind.

I have some suggestions for more music to incorporate and learn together -- and would be happy to lead or teach:

1. sim shalom tova u'racha -- translation: bring peace, goodness and blessing (like Dona Nobis Pacem) in a round. After the Amida.

2. Hinach Yafah Rayati -- translation: note sure - does someone else know? Here we are my beautiful friend??? A chant for p'sukey d'zimrah, at the beginning of the service.
