siLUK (1-6)
 

Use the recordings below to build up your "chanting dictionary" of Torah ta'am (trop) model tunes for siLUK phrases according to the tradition presented in "Chanting the Hebrew Bible" by Dr. Joshua Jacobson as chanted by Cantor Rebecca Blumenfeld.

Every verse in the Hebrew Bible ends with a word punctuated with a siLUK.
Some people say sof‑paSUK, instead of siLUK.
If you see the little vertical line, that looks like a siLUK, in a word that’s not at the end of a verse of Torah or Haftarah text, it’s called a MEteg. It usually marks a secondary accented syllable. There will always be another ta’am on the word, so you will know how to chant the word.
Sometimes, you might see two vertical lines on the last word of the verse of Torah or Haftarah text. The first one is a MEteg and the second one is the siLUK.
When it is found, mer'KHA-kh’fuLAH always precedes tipp'CHA. It is found only 5 times in the Torah and in only one Haftarah, which is read for both Shabbat B’ha’alot’kha and Shabbat Hanukkah.
