MAQAM OF THE WEEK: SABA         לך לך

למה תאמר יעקב לך לך
מקאם צבא נגונים
עליון רם גדול נשמת
ערבים שבת אחים שועת
מה טוב מה נעים  ההודאות
אל חי ונורא  קדיש
יגדל אלהים חי צבא  שמחים
נעימה לי  ממצרים
אתה אהובי  נקדישך
אהלל ואגילה  פזמון ספר תורה
For Shabbat Lekh Lekha (Genesis 12:1- 17:27), Maqam SABA is selected for the morning services according to SUHV (Red Pizmonim Book) and all other known Aleppo sources (Damascus sources cite Maqam SIGAH). This maqam has many associations, but is known by the Aleppo community as the maqam used at the Berit Mila (circumcision) ceremony, being that the Arabic word 'Sabi' means 'baby boy.' This relates to our Torah portion, because we read about the original Berit Mila covenant between God and Abraham. HAZZANUT: Semehim: Yigdal Elohim Hai for Berit Mila, Naqdishakh: Ata Ahubi (page 410). Sephardic Pizmonim Project, www.pizmonim.com.
