Lyrics
יְבָרֶכְךָ֥ ה' וְיִשְׁמְרֶֽךָ
יָאֵ֨ר ה' פָּנָ֛יו אֵלֶ֖יךָ וִֽיחֻנֶּֽךָּ
יִשָּׂ֨א ה' פָּנָיו֙ אֵלֶ֔יךָ וְיָשֵׂ֥ם לְךָ֖ שָׁלֽוֹם
Yivarechecha Hashem v’yishmerecha
Ya’er Hashem panav eilecha vi’chuneka
Yisa Hashem panav eilecha v’yasem lecha shalom
May Hashem bless you, and keep you
May Hashem shine their face upon you, and be gracious with you
May Hashem lift their face to you, and place for you peace/wholeness

Their music is made of Ashkenazi yearning, queer heart-medicine and emunah (faith/trust). Batya believes in the liberatory power of song to loosen what is bound and to sustain us as we build a more just, beautiful world.
