To Infinity and Beyond (Barchu)

A short, soaring setting of the Bar'chu, the call into communal worship. The song pairs the prayer's invitation with the playful image of "to infinity and beyond," framing communal praise as something that stretches across time and generations.

The structure is brief by design: an English call ("To infinity, to infinity and beyond, I will praise You") followed by the Hebrew Bar'chu et Adonai ha'm'vorach l'olam va'ed, and the response Baruch Adonai ha'm'vorach l'olam va'ed.

What's included:

Lead sheet PDF with melody line, chord symbols, and lyrics in English and Hebrew transliteration. Original composition by Dr. Emily Aronoff, copyright 2012. Suitable for guitar, ukulele, or piano accompaniment.

Best fit:

Songleaders, music specialists, cantorial soloists, and music-reading grown ups working with kiddos roughly ages 3-10. Lands at Tot Shabbat, family Shabbat services, religious school, and any prayer service that includes the Bar'chu. The brevity makes it a good fit when the leader wants to land the prayer quickly and move into the rest of the service.
