Here's a video to save for tomorrow night at the conclusion of Shabbat. Playing it after dark will give us a reminder of the sweet taste of Shabbat and energize us to face the challenges of the coming week.
In this video compilation, watch Hasidic Jews, Reform rabbis, Black African Jews, Conservative youth, Haredim, Modern Orthodox Jews, Messianic (Christian) "Jews," Marines, Chabadniks, German descendants of Nazis, West Bank yeshiva boys, women cantors, modern Orthodox teens, Jews from the former Soviet Union, and Debbie Friedman herself sing this classic tune that marks the end of Shabbat.
Shabbat shalom!

Love it. So touching and moving. Shabbat Shalom to everyone.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Aviva! As I made it (for a Limmud session about Debbie and Shlomo Carlebach) I realized that her Havdalah is hardly different than the "official" Maoz Tzur and Shalom Aleichem. There are lots of ways to sing either one, but there's also a default version that people consider normative and that they're avoiding when they do something else. The amazing part is that THIS one (compared to other standard tunes) is no more than a quarter-century old!
DeleteHere's my Shlomo Carlebach "Am Yisrael Chai" round-up, in which I did the same thing, for those who want to see it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bx4Vs4fLTs&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR0urr8UoD-ovgV72WYmkSzSSGY5z2-rDT7-TRkPxW7l7foWOq-wmg3kV1M
DeleteI've had positive responses over the weekend, so I decided to post the improved version I made for Limmud Mallorca. There are more clips, better editing, and the last third where Debbie sings it herself is much more interesting to watch.
