Rachamono

Lyrics:

Transliteration:

Ra-cha-ma-nah de-on-yei la-a-ni-yei a-nei-nu, ra-cha-ma-nah de-an-yei le-te-vi-rei li-bah a-nei-nu.

Translation:

O Merciful One, Who answered the poor, answer us; O Merciful One, Who answered the broken-hearted, answer us.

Liturgy

From a concluding prayer in the Selichot service. The opening bars reveal the remorse of the remorseful spirit, while the conclusion voices a strong hope for the acceptance and fulfillment of the worshippers' petitions to the Almighty. The melody was introduced by the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, of righteous memory, on the holiday of Simchat Torah in 1959.

Composed or Taught By
The Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson
