Keili Atoh

Lyrics:

Transliteration:

Kieli atah ve'odekah eloikai aromimekah.

Translation:

You are my G-d and I will give thanks to You; You are my G-d and I will exalt You.

Psalms 118:28

One of the ten melodies composed by the Alter Rebbe. For many generations it has been the custom of the Lubavitcher Rebbe to sing this melody at the close of the Passover Seders, while pouring the wine from the cup of Elijah back into the decanter. The melody is divided into three short parts, similar to one another each sung progressively louder. It is a heartfelt declaration of thankfulness, spiritual satisfaction, and steadfast belief in the future redemption through the coming of the Messiah.

Composed or Taught By
Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi

After the Seder

As mentioned before the Rebbe's custom was to pour the wine back into its bottle after saying La'shana Haba Be'yerushalyim. There is only one Niggun for this song and this is it. I've even heard it sung in non lubavitch circles

Always a beautiful composition. It's got a slow sound to it which seaps in.
