V’hareinu by Shlomo Yehuda Rechnitz
Another song by reader request . . .
V’hareinu, composed by Shlomo Yehuda Rechnitz
I had never heard this song when a PJM (playJewishMusic.com) reader requested it. We listened to it on repeat for hours on end, until even my two and a half year old was singing it! 🙂
Over the past few years, Shlomo Yehuda Rechnitz has become famous for his soul stirring compositions. This song was composed in honor of the 200th Anniversary of the Mir Yeshiva and presented at the Mir Yeshiva Dinner. With over 100,000 YouTube views, it has quickly become a hit and is being sung at kumzitses worldwide.
The words to the song come from Mussaf of the Shalosh Regalim (Three Festivals – Pesach, Shavuot, and Sukkos). We beseech Hashem to rebuild the Beis Hamikdash as it once was, to return the Kohanim to their service, the Levi’im to their songs, and the entire Jewish people to their home.
You can get the sheet music for this song in three keys:
- C#m (same as the V’hareinu original recording)
- Am (always the easiest!) and
- Em (why not?)
Enjoy!

Hi Ita,
While in Israel, I have been asked to play background music for a rosh chodesh program & dinner Sunday night. Playing both flute & guitar. do you have tu B`Shvat music? What else is appropriate that you have. The program is for seminary students and invited women.
Thanks,

Yitzchok, my youngest son loved this song and was singing it all day.
That is so adorably sweet. It sounds like your child is heaven!!!!!!!
A wonderful song; glad to get a transcription from hebrew alphabet, so that I can join in.
I’d enjoy to sing along two other songs I cannot find in transcription:
what about “Shak’a chama” with addendum and the jiddish text of “Ein od milvado”??? Can anyone help please?
Thank you so much.
Sincerely yours
Gisela Krumm
Ita, do you have a video of this song being played?
I love it and it’s so much easier for me to learn by seeing it than to read notes.
which one is easiest to play?
The Am version is usually easiest for most people.
Sorry, I don’t have a video of this!
