There is a song by that named used in Israeli dancing.  I don't think I have it 
in my collection but if you contact Honey Goldfein Perry at Kesher Lemachol, 
she could probably tell you of a recording.  http://www.webspan.net/~hgpklm/ is 
the url.

  There is a lovely song by Naomi Shemer called Tfilati. We use it as part of 
the Friday night service at my synagogue. I have this feeling that I have heard 
it on a recording somewhere, but can't find it. Any ideas?


  Here are the words:

        TFILATI     

        Ha'azina Elohim tfilati 
        ve'al na titalem mitchinti. 

        Mi yiten li kanaf kayona,
        a'ufa li ve'eshkona. 

        Ani el Elohai ekra 
        vehu yoshieni. 
       


  Thanks,
