Atah-chohayn l’olam al-divrati Malki-tzedek
“You are a priest forever”, according to the word of Malkitzedek. (Psalm 110:4)

Malki-tzedek is the mysterious Priest of Ayl Aylyon, God of the Most High, mentioned in Genesis 14, who offers bread and wine to Abraham, initiating him into his calling and spiritual destiny. He becomes for us an archetype of initiatory power that is calling each of us into the fulfilment of our full potential and true purpose. When we chant these words, we are opening to an initiation into our own wholeness.
