Meet this beautiful Iraqi Jewish, born in Mosul. She sings the lullaby Jilala in Judeo-Arabic. Below is her description and the translation. Jews may have left Iraq but they still have their songs. Via sarahsassoonwriter “There were small jilalas and big, bed sized jilalas. Mother would swing the baby or small children on them and sing this lullaby. She sewed or embroidered as she sang.” Jilala uB’rana Rachna u’Jina - we came and went u’Hatzalna we gained (name of child here) Hatzalna In’ShAllah Bumru Yithana - We gained and God gave him to enjoy from his life, may he be happy #iraqijews #jewishtradition #mothers #lullaby #middleeast #grandmother #tradition #mizrahi #mosul #jews #iraq #refugees #resilience #joy #heritage #judeoarabic #antisemitism #neveragainisnow
