The Hebrew words “Mah Rabu” come from this text:  Psalms 104:24: Mah Rabu Maasecha Hashem Kulam Bechachmah Asita Malah Haaretz Kinyanecha – How great/many are Your deeds Hashem, All of them You have made with wisdom –the earth is full of Your creations.

Note from the songwriter:
I love the expression “Mah Rabu” as an elevated for of “Awesome!” or “Cool” that is accounting for uniqueness of the creator. I also love that young children experience and express what Rabbi Abraha Joshua Heschel referred to as “radical amazement” often, and can inspire the adults in their lives to notice the awe-some in thier lives, too. Bubbles are a great example of this- so play, enjoy, revel and give thanks in the holy moment that is children and bubbles!

Activity:
Bubbles and bubble machines can also help children experience and imagine the joy that we imagine when we tell the story of the parting of the sea, so they can be a wonderful addition to any setting of “Mi Chamocha” during worship experiences.

Teaching Tip: Sometimes I play this tune on repeat.
For the “blowing” bubbles verse, if you are using a bubble machine, ask the children if they can move the bubbles with their breath- remind them to breath in through their nose and out through their mouth.Teach caregivers that this deep breathing exercise can help children calm down- blowing bubbles can be a GREAT redirection for tantruming toddlers- the bubbles can help distract the kiddo from their overwhelming emotions they are experiencing, the focus on breathing helps them to learn teach their body how to slow down and process their feelings.

we love bubbles we love bubbles we love bubbles Yes we do
