Written by 16th Century Kabbalist Shlomo Halevi Alkabetz, Lecha Dodi is a classic erev Shabbat text that has been put to many tunes. This Shabbat, we bring you Lecha Dodi to the melody of a Bluegrass standard, Old Home Place.
It's performed by Kol Kaḥol, a virtuosic Jewish Bluegrass band that brings a warm,
welcoming, and uplifting musical experience to the Kabbalat Shabbat
service.
The combination of banjo, mandolin, fiddle, guitar, and bass, together with vocals by Ariel Wyner and Sofia Chiarandini creates a version of Lecha Dodi that we haven't heard in shul (or anywhere else).
Enjoy, and Shabbat shalom!
