about

The language in Birkat Hamazon, the Grace After Meals, reveals a God who ‘nourishes the universe in its allness’ – hazan et haolam kulo.

That the blessing after eating includes such an encompassing acknowledgment of all of the blessings in our lives is a beautiful concept. When we express gratitude for one thing, we more easily notice other things to be grateful for. What we focus our attention on grows. When said with kavanah (intention), expressions of gratitude develop our awareness of just how much blessing is really in our lives.

Special thanks to: Nathaniel Moldoff; Rav Daniel Landes
Text: Birkat Hamazon (Grace After Meals)

lyrics

Hazan et haolam kulo
You are the One who nurtures
In its vast expanse, the whole universe
Hazan et haolam kulo

Chorus: Hazan et haolam kulo, hazan et haolam kulo
Hazan et haolam, hazan et haolam, hazan et haolam kulo

Umfarnes lakol, umfarnes lakol
You support and maintain
Hold the space and sustain
Umfarnes lakol

Chorus

Umaitiv lakol, umaitiv lakol
You cause us to grow
Become more and more whole
Umativiv lakol

Chorus

Umaikhin mazon, umaikhin mazon
You prepare and provide
Make real dreams from inside
Umaikhin mazon

Chorus

Hazan et haolam kulo
You are the One who nurtures
In its vast expanse, the whole universe
Hazan et haolam kulo

Chorus
