I love these versions of Isra’el’s Hinei Ma Tov (Behold How Good) and just thought I would share them with my brothers and sisters in Christ:

Hinei ma tov:

Behold how good and

How pleasant it is

For brothers to dwell together (if brothers – people– could sit together in unity)

Behold how good and

How pleasant it is

For brothers to dwell together

**(In Hebrew, the masculine also includes the feminine when a mixed group of people are concerned)
**(Yachad is from the word Yachid which means absolute unity and has a higher connotation than just peace and harmony.)
**(That wish for eternal unity Jews singing every Shabbat for the last few thousand years.)
Hine ma tov
uma nayim
shevet achim gam yachad.
Hine ma tov
uma nayim
shevet achim gam yachad.Lai, lai lai lai, lai lai lai lai lai
lai lai lai, lai lai lai lai.Lai, lai lai, lai, lai lai lai lai lai
lai lai lai, lai lai lai lai.Hine ma tov
uma nayim
shevet achim gam yachad.
Hine ma tov
uma nayim
shevet achim gam yachad.(repeat)
shevet achim gam yachad……..
