Some people sing "achot", sisters, instead of "achim", or alternate the two. Aloha, Mark |

The "ch" is pronounced as in the Scots "loch" or German "buch". And since I don't have the original Hebrew in front of me, I may be mistaken about "na-im"--it might really be "na-yim". Aloha, Mark |

I found some old notes (ca 1966) that I transcribed from dance record liner notes for my girlfriend (now my wife of 32 years) so she could sing from them. The transliteration is slightly different, although the words are the same. Hinei ma tov u'ma naim Shevet achim gam yachad repeats once Hinei ma'a tov, shevet achim gam yachad repeats once whole thing (4 lines) repeats Hinei ma tov u'ma naim Shevet achim gam yachad repeats once |
