A prayer for peace, with God in the feminine. The last line shifts the peacemaking responsibility to us. Sung most often as the closing of the Amidah (standing prayer), can be sung at any service or gathering.
Osah shalom bimromeiha, hee ta’aseh shalom aleinu (2x)
Al kol, al kol Beit Yisrael, Al kol, al kol yoshvei teiveil
Salaam aleikum, aleikum salaam (2x)
Osah shalom bimromeihah v’na’aseh shalom beineinu
(The Maker (f) of Peace in the Heavens, she’ll make peace upon us
On the whole House of Israel, on all inhabitants of creation
Peace be upon you, upon you be peace
The Maker (f) of Peace will make peace in the Heavens,
and we will make peace between us.)
