Heal Us Now
Music and English Text: Leon Sher, 2002 Hebrew Text: Healing Liturgy, Numbers 12:13, Pslams:145:18, 85:10
This piece weaves together healing liturgy, biblical text and psalms. We hear Moses’ voice as he calls out to God to heal Miriam, “El Na R’fana La.” We are reminded that there are times in our lives when we need healing of the mind, of the body and of the spirit. The passionate melody echoes our fervent cries to God for healing. This text reassures us with conviction: “God is karov/close to all who call out to God. Surely help is near to all who call out to God.”
