Buber citations

[Alex Jacobowitz <alexbjacobowitz...>]

B"H Munich

from Martin Buber´s Ten Rungs: 
Collected Hasidic Sayings

The psalm reads: "For singing to our G-d is good."

It is good if man can so bring it about that G-d
sings within him.

ALL THE MELODIES

Every people has its own melody, and no people sings
the melody of another. But Israel sings all the
melodies, in order to bring them to G-d. 
So, in the "Section of Praise," all the creatures that
live on the earth, and all the birds, utter each his
own song. But Israel makes a song out of all of their
songs, in order to bring them to G-d.
