Traditionally on this Shabbat, rabbis deliver sermons to their congregation to awaken the congregation to recall their conduct of the past year, and begin to repent for the coming of Yom Kippur (The Day of Atonement).
We usher in the Shabbat tonight like any other Shabbat, with the singing of Shalom Aleichem. We found a particularly beautiful rendition of Shalom Aleichem by Vered Forbes in a duo called Yehudim Tovim (Good Jews.) The video looks like it was made in and around Jerusalem. We hope you enjoy it.
Shabbat shalom.

What's the word after meemelech in all 4 verses? As an Israeli, I would assume she would know Hebrew better than I do!
ReplyDeleteIt should be "mimelech malchei hamelachim (from the king who reigns over kings)". Many people who should know better say "mimelech malachei hamelachim (from the king who is the angel of kings (which makes no sense.) It sounds like she is saying "mimelech m'lachei hamelachim" which is neither here nor there. I think she knows the difference but is just pronouncing malchei as m'lachei." Is there a Hebrew gramarrian who wants to weigh in on this?
DeleteSo absolutely beautiful. I wept with joy at this rendition. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteAnon: I am so glad that you relaxed and just enjoyed the wonderful beauty of the entire rendition. Who cares how a word is pronounced. They are singing to G-d and it is beautiful. That is all that counts.
