June 24, 2018 ~ Shabbat HUQAT. Maqam HOSENI.
The Arabic word Sabi means baby boy, and this is why Maqam Saba - צבא - is used for the Berit Milah (circumcision). Saba is used for Torah portions that contain either births, covenants (berit), a multitude of laws, or the reference to an army (Hebrew: Saba).
The Jews of Damascus use this maqam to express sad events.

| 454 | 377 | לעם אביר | Raphael Tabbush The original Arabic song (Adak Amir) was sung by Abdel Hai Hilmi. Itamar is singing exactly based on the version sung by the nephew of Hilim, Saleh Abdel Hai Salah. The Pizmon is clearly based on the Arabic song as the syllables match exactly. This pizmon fits better in the Bayat maqam. Thanks to Joey Harari, Jerusalem. |

| 492 | 405 | יהי שלום | Milah. For the birth of a baby boy. This pizmon is used at the Berit Milah. The initials at the beginning of each stanza form the acrostic 'Yehoshua'. This pizmon is taken from Mahzor Aram Soba, Sefer Shirim, Baghdad, 1906. An older version of this same song is found in Mahzor Aram Soba of 1560 (words vary slightly).

| 493 | 406 | אערך מהלל נבי | אנכי דוד בן אהרון בן חסין חזק Written for the Berit Milah. Also for Parashat Balaq, because Pinehas is mentioned. Written by R' David Hassin of Morocco in the 18th century. Written about Eliyahu, who is the "Malach HaBerit" and is present in each Berit Milah. The song talks about the miracles of Eliyahu and events throughout his life. Also according to Zohar, Pinehas=Eliyahu. Yabess Manuscript |

| 495 | 410 | אתה אהובי | אברהם חזק 'Atah Ahubi' is sung at all Berit Milah celebrations as well as on Shabbat Lekh Lekha. The initials at the beginning of each stanza form 'Abraham Hazak'. The pizmon consists of 6 stanzas, five of which end with the word Eyn. Generally, Eyn, is easily translatable as Eye or spring. In this song, a third meaning is used which is based on Kabbalistic significance of the Berit Milah. Here, the berit milah itself is called Eyn, meaning Wellspring of Life. Abraham Antebi.
