About Ein Keloheinu
Ein Keloheinu is a Hebrew hymn of the Sabbath morning service. The Union Hymnal of 1897 prints it in four parts among its "Hebrew Hymns and Responses", its index giving the music's source only as "German"; the 1932 edition credits it to Julius Freudenthal. Our arrangement is read from the 1897 book, a tone higher than its F, in G. All five short verses are sung in Hebrew, transliterated, for 2 to 4 singers: there is none like our God, our Lord, our King, our Saviour; who is like our God; we give thanks; blessed is our God; you are our God. It is sung with the substituted names customary when singing outside prayer: Elokeinu and Kelokeinu.
