Akdamut

Akdamut, or Akdamus or Akdamut Milin, or Akdomus Milin (Aramaic: אֵקְדָּמוּת מִלִּין, "In Introduction to the Words," i.e. to the Aseret ha-dibrot, the Ten Commandments), is a prominent Aramaic liturgical poem recited annually on the Jewish holiday of Shavuos by Ashkenazi Jews. It was penned by Rabbi Meir bar Yitzchak ("Nehorai") of Orléans, who was either a cantor or prayer leader in Worms, Germany, (died ca. 1095). Akdamut consists of praise for God, His Torah, and His people.
