About Tzur Mishelo

Words: traditional Hebrew Sabbath table hymn (zemer), anonymous

Tune: German melody for the Sabbath zemirot (printed by Francis L. Cohen, 1906)

Tzur Mishelo is one of the zemirot, the Hebrew songs sung at home at table, most of all before or after the grace after the Sabbath's main meals. The Jewish Encyclopedia names this German melody as the most frequent air for the table songs, sung with this song or with another, "Yom Zeh le-Yisrael". Our tune is read from its 1906 printing, in G minor as printed; the Hebrew is fitted by us, and the four parts are our own. It is sung in Hebrew, transliterated, for 2 to 4 singers: the refrain, blessing the Rock whose food we have eaten, around verses 1 and 4. It is sung with the substituted name customary when singing outside prayer: Adoshem.
