On Fridays we usually post a musical
welcome to Shabbat with a version of Shalom Aleichem, Lecha
Dodi, or Adon Olam. But this week we're skipping to the end of
Shabbat and continuing the series of Havdalah services
that we
started a year ago.
There's a rich lode of musical endings to Shabbat, and Havdalah ceremonies around the world reflect the traditional and local musical tastes of each location.
Any one interested in leading the Havdalah ceremony can use this video to help make the experience as moving and enriching as possible. Included are Havdalah chords and choreography; the Hebrew, English and transliteration of the Havdalah Blessings; and a beautiful rendition of the ceremony performed by BBYO song leaders Eric Hunker, Happie Hoffman, Stephen Brickman, Deb Winter, Josh Cohen and Rachel Wolman.
Shabbat
Shalom and Shavua Tov. Enjoy!

Clearly, it was not Shabbat, yet your singers used the name of Hashem in vain. PLease, do not allow videos that profain the religion
ReplyDeleteHow interesting that you don't know that Havdalah is not recited on Shabbat, and can be recited long after Shabbat has ended without taking God's name in vain. In fact, the only possible chillul (from an Orthodox point of view) would be if they HAD recorded this on Shabbat! Bottom line: "Worry about your own spiritual welfare and your neighbor's material welfare, not the opposite."
ReplyDeleteMost moving and beautiful.
