Anim Zemirot

Anim Zemirot (אנעים זמירות, lit. "I shall sing sweet songs") is a Jewish liturgical poem sung in the synagogue at the end of Shabbat and holiday morning services. Formally, it is known as Shir Hakavod (שיר הכבוד, lit. "Song of Glory"), but it is often referred to as anim zemirot, after the first two words of the poem.

Anim Zemirot is recited responsively, with the first verse read aloud by the shaliach tzibbur (שליח ציבור, lit. messenger of the congregation), the second verse recited by the congregation in unison, and so on. The poem is believed to have been written by Rav Yehudah Hachassid, the 12th-century German scholar and pietist.
