| Ajam | 235 | 187 | מי זאת הנשקפה | Moses Ashear Its melody is taken from the Neapolitan song "Santa Lucia", by Teodoro Cottrau, Written in honor of the birth of a baby girl. The text begins with a paraphrase of Song of Songs 6:10: "Who is she that shines through like dawn, tired. She is radiant and beautiful, the pleasing daughter of Zion." Written for Hebrat Qadimah which was a Zionistic society as the words of the song clearly indicate and not a community synagogue. Ashear wrote this song before 1928. Ashear Manuscript |

| Saba | 481 | 397 | יה אל גדול ונאדר | Tu Bishvat/ Baqashot. The text of this song has nothing to do with Tu Bishvat except for the references to inviting guests to eat different fruits. The reason why this tune is used for Tu Bishvat is based on a Judeo-Arabic song with the same tune as this. |

| Hijaz | 584 | 484 | אתוהי כמה רברבין | The first words of this pizmon are from Daniel 3:33. After seeing how God saved Hananiah, Mishael & Azariah from the furnace into which he had thrown them, Nebuchadnezzar praised God, 'How great are His signs! How mighty are his wonders! His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and His dominion is over every generation!' So too do the heavenly hosts praise Hashem above, but only after Israel declares His praise below, as the Talmud states (Hullin 91b) "The ministering angels do not sing praises above until Israel begins below".
