Between You and Me Lyrics by Elizabeth Goldstein וַיֹּ֨אמֶר אַבְרָ֜ם אֶל־ל֗וֹט אַל־נָ֨א תְהִ֤י מְרִיבָה֙ בֵּינִ֣י וּבֵינֶ֔ךָ וּבֵ֥ין רֹעַ֖י וּבֵ֣ין רֹעֶ֑יךָ כִּֽי־אֲנָשִׁ֥ים אַחִ֖ים אֲנָֽחְנוּ Abram said to Lot, “Let there be no strife between you and me, between my herders and yours, for we are kin. הֲלֹ֤א כׇל־הָאָ֙רֶץ֙ לְפָנֶ֔יךָ הִפָּ֥רֶד נָ֖א מֵעָלָ֑י אִם־הַשְּׂמֹ֣אל וְאֵימִ֔נָה וְאִם־הַיָּמִ֖ין וְאַשְׂמְאִֽילָה׃ Is not the whole land before you? Let us separate: if you go north, I will go south; and if you go south, I will go north.” Lyrics Between Me and You: A renewed Plea for a Two-State solution אַל־נָ֨א תְהִ֤י מְרִיבָה֙ בֵּינִ֣י וּבֵינֶ֔ךָ Al na Tehi Merivah Bayni U’Vaynecha Al na Tehi Merivah Bayni U’Vaynecha הֲלֹ֤א כׇל־הָאָ֙רֶץ֙ לְפָנֶ֔יךָ Halo Kol Ha-Aretz Lefanecha Halo Kol Ha-Aretz Lefanecha הִפָּ֥רֶד נָ֖א מֵעָלָ֑י Hi-pared Na May-Alay Hi-pared Na May-Alay Snuff out the flickers of our strife. Fighting is not the flame of life. The Anger Between You and Me Let it die out eternally. Take your pick of this land. So that our peace may surely be at hand Let us go our ways separately, So that our people can be free. אַל־נָ֨א תְהִ֤י מְרִיבָה֙ בֵּינִ֣י וּבֵינֶ֔ךָ Al na Tehi Merivah Bayni U’Vaynecha Al na Tehi Merivah Bayni U’Vaynecha הֲלֹ֤א כׇל־הָאָ֙רֶץ֙ לְפָנֶ֔יךָ Halo Kol Ha-Aretz Lefanecha Halo Kol Ha-Aretz Lefanecha הִפָּ֥רֶד נָ֖א מֵעָלָ֑י Hi-pared Na May-Alay Hi-pared Na May-Alay Lech-Lecha Hebcal Date Sefaria Torah Reading Genesis 12:1-17:27 Song lyrics & Song music by Rabbi Elizabeth W.
