Ana BeKoach – Kabbalistic Melody for Chanukah – With English Translation
The powerful, ancient prayer "Ana BeKoach" is said every day and also recited while the Chanukah lights are burning, when the chassidic tradition is to say each word seven times.
It's sung here by Rabbi Yechiel Michel Dorfman zal (Ukraine, 1913 - Jerusalem, 2006), Rosh Yeshiva of the Central Breslov Yeshiva in Meah Sha’arim until his passing. Recorded during Chanukah 5756 (1995-12-20) when he was 82 years old.
English translation:
"We beg You, by the power of Your right arm's greatness, untie the bonds of our distress.
Accept the heartfelt prayer of Your nation; strengthen us, purify us, You who are revered.
Please, Mighty One, those who seek Your unity – guard them like the pupil of the eye.
Bless them, purify them, pity them, may the mercy of Your righteousness be granted to them always.
Powerful Holy One, in Your abundant goodness, guide Your community.
Singular exalted One, show favor to Your Nation which proclaims Your holiness.
Accept our plea and hear our cry, O Knower of mysteries.
Blessed is the Name of His glorious Kingdom for all eternity.
