A Shabbat Greeting: Lecha Dodi in the Style of John Legend's "All of Me"

Sometimes a song takes flight and "goes viral" with millions of viewers playing it over and over. And sometimes a Jewish artist uses the melody as the basis for a new piece of liturgical music that has the same reaction in the world of Jewish music.

That's what happened when a singer named Refael Mirila used the song All of Me popularized by John Legend as the basis for a new version of Lecha Dodi, the song to welcome the Sabbath.

The original version has collected an astonishing number of 406 million plays. The Lecha Dodi version has amassed 242,000 views -- a very respectable number for a Jewish song.

Enjoy and Shabbat shalom!
