Bubbles (Mah Rabu)

A playful, embodied song that introduces the Hebrew phrase Mah Rabu as an expression of awe, wonder, and gratitude. The Hebrew comes from Psalm 104:24: Mah rabu ma'asecha Hashem, how great are Your works.

The chorus carries "We love bubbles, oh how awesome, mah rabu." The zipper verses swap the central action: we catch bubbles, we pop bubbles, we blow bubbles, we love bubbles. The bubbles themselves do the teaching, inviting play, delight, attention, and gratitude all at once.

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 2016. Suitable for guitar, ukulele, or piano accompaniment.

Best fit:

Songleaders, music specialists, cantorial soloists, and music-reading grown ups working with kiddos roughly ages 0-5. Lands at Tot Shabbat, baby and toddler music classes, family programming, and parent-and-me sessions. Bubbles double as a regulation tool: the visual distraction helps redirect overwhelmed toddlers, and the slow, intentional breathing required to blow bubbles teaches the body how to settle.

Delivery: Instant PDF download. Print-friendly.
