hilaThis upbeat song features Manginot, an Israeli wedding band, performing a classic Jewish wedding song often played during the “simcha dance” portion of the wedding or when the guests are entertaining the bride and groom on the dance floor. The Hebrew, English and transliterated lyrics, shared below, are based on a text from the Babylonian Talmud (Ketubot 16b-17a), where the sages debate how one must praise a bride on her wedding day.
Keitzad Merakdin
כיצד מרקדין לפני הכלה כלה נאה וחסודה
How do we dance before a bride, a beautiful and modest bride
Keitzad m’rakdin lifnei hakalah, kalah naeh v’chasudah
