A question for Jumblr:

For those of you who know zemirot, what is the name and appropriate sound effect for that one tune for Yom Zeh Mechubad?

As in:

Yom zeh m'chubad mikol yamim

ki vo shavat tsur olamim...

What noise comes next?

Toot-toot!

Beep-beep

Something else???? (please tell me in the tags)

This brought to you by the extremely confused double take my family made when our rabbi started singing it Wrong at a shul lunch.

If you can tell me which you use and where you learned it (location-wise) in the tags I need to know if this is a different traditions thing or if my rabbi's family is just Built Different

There are so many other good options, so please by all means feel free to scream in the comments about your favorite bangers that wouldn't fit in the poll.

Bonus points if you share a recording of your favorite version, since most of these have multiple melodies!

Ya Komimos

Recited after Birkat Amazon [sic]

Ya Komimos – Zemirot

Ya komimos i bevimos i al Dyo santo Baruḥ U uvaruḥ shemo bendishimos. Ke mos dyo i mos dara pan para komer; i panyos para vistir; i anyos, munchos i buenos, para bivir.

We have eaten and we have drunk and we have blessed the Holy One, blessed be He and blessed be His Name. Who has given us, and may He continue to give us, bread to eat; and clothes to wear; and years, many and good ones, to live.

El Padre el grande ke mande al chiko, asegun tenemos de menester para muestras kazas i para muestros ijos. El Dyo mos oyga, i mos aresponda, i mos apiade por su nombre el grande, ke somos almikas sin pekado. Odu L'Adonai ki tov ki leolam ḥasdo. Odu L'Adonai ki tov ki leolam ḥasdo.

May the Great Father send to the little one according to our needs, for our homes and for our children. May God listen to us and answer us and may He forgive us for the sake of His Great Name, for we are little souls without sin. Give thanks to Adonai, for His mercy endures forever. Give thanks to Adonai, for His mercy endures forever.

Syempre mejor, nunka peor, nunka mos manke en la meza del Kriador.

Always better, never worse, may we never lack a thing at the table of the Creator.

Amen.

What are Zemirot?

Zemirot (singular is z’mirah) are Jewish songs with an association with Shabbat or holidays although some are so beloved that they are sung at other times as well. Some Sephardic Jews also use the term to refer to the series of psalms in the morning service prior to the Barechu prayer.

Gotta say, never heard that tune for Tzur Mishelo before. The one I like the best is the one I term "the drinking song tune" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdu3r1LYpsk

Interesting... I have heard/sang with this tune before but I’ve always known my tune as “the drinking song tune”, and this one you’ve linked as “the one that isn’t the drinking song tune”!  I wonder why that is?  I guess they both sort of sound like drinking songs.
