Topic: Zemirot

	Zemirot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Zemirot (זמירות) (singular: zemer) are Jewish hymns, usually sung in the Hebrew or Aramaic languages, but sometimes also in Yiddish or Ladino.
		The best known zemirot are those sung around the table during on Shabbat (the Jewish Sabbath) and Jewish holidays.
		The words to many zemirot are taken from poems written by various rabbis and sages during the Middle Ages.

	The Daily Bang
		The tone of the zemirot at this gathering might be more traditional, consisting of several aih yai yai’s in each refrain, with tempered fist pounding on the table at the climax of each song.
		Zemirot sung on Shabbat by individuals at meals would rank as the most prevalent with the acapella; with ad hoc ensembles- treading a close second at least in popularity, if not participation, as this went to print.
		Those who seek to detract from maintaining a high level of socializing, via introducing zemirot at Shabbat meals for a duration of extended length or by ad hocking at a party and monopolizing it, are being detrimental to the vital needs of the vast majority.

		If our intellectual devotions take a wrong turn or stagnate, then it is only the fuel that comes from the simple devotions of the heart that can lead us back on track.
		This is the sum and substance of the zemirot, the special songs sung at the Shabbat table.
		Singing joyously from the depths of our hearts — songs of the revelation of God’s Unity and of His abundant blessings, songs of our love for God and of our great delight in the Shabbat — is one of the surest ways to become close to God.

		The Be'eir Sheva claims that the fact that in this case the songs being sung are in the context of quasi-worship is irrelevant, and a woman should not allow her voice to be heard by men while singing zemirot (this may also apply to women singing loud in shul).
		On the other hand, the Sdei Chemed claims that since zemirot are sung for the purpose of praising Hashem, a woman may sing loud enough to be heard by men so long as they do not strain to hear her voice and derive benefit from it.
		A German rabbi in the late 1800's and early 1900's, he was asked about some of the practices of the French youth group "Yeshurun." Among the questionable activities that they engaged in was the singing of zemirot on Shabbat in groups made up of boys and girls.

		What made the meal special was not just the food served but the camaraderie of sharing the meal together, singing Shabbat zemirot and learning some Torah as well.
		The emotions as Shabbat is about to end are mixed — on the one hand, we are relaxed and spiritually stimulated from the observance of Shabbat; on the other hand, we are saddened knowing that the day will end as the sunlight fades away and we have to return to the routine of the workweek.
		Some of these Zemirot reflect the hope of the coming of the Messiah — the utopia that will be like Shabbat, but without end — note that we sing Eliahu HaNavi after Havdalah as well.

		A Rambam (Sh'vuot 12:9) rules that one who uses Hashem's Name in a sh'vuat shav (meaningless oath) or a b'racha l'vatala (an unwarranted blessing) violates the Torah prohibition to use His Name in vain.
		As the aforementioned Rambam hinted, it is likewise permissible to use Hashem's Name to praise Him, including in Shabbat zemirot and other liturgy.
		The explanation of this custom is apparently that we are concerned that we will not be in the proper frame of mind (B'tzel Hachuchma IV, 52) or may stop in the middle of a phrase (see Igrot Moshe, ibid.) or otherwise disgrace the Name.
