'Anenu (Anenu elohe Avraham)

An ancient litany consisting of verses of diverse length beginning and ending with the same word: 'anenu ("Respond to us"). Haim sings the widespread version found in Eastern Sephardi prayer books that consists of nine verses and he repeats the whole series twice: the first time he repeats the ninth verse twice and in the second time he omits the last verse (all of these probably out of necessity, to cover the side of the record). This melody was commonly used in Saloniki and in other Sephardi communities of the Balkans.
