Welcoming Shabbat with Yigdal by Chicago's West Suburban Temple Har Zion

Most synagogues conclude the Friday evening service with the liturgical poem Yigdal

Yigdal (Hebrew: יִגְדָּל‬ means "Magnify [O Living God]") is a Jewish hymn which in various rituals shares with Adon Olam the place of honor at the opening of the morning and the close of the evening service. 

It is based on the 13 Articles of Faith formulated by Maimonides (The Rambam). A translation can be found in any bilingual siddur in the language of the country where it is sung.

Today we're welcoming Shabbat with a version of Yigdal by the Mizmor L'David Davening Team of Chicago's West Suburban Temple Har Zion.

Enjoy, and Shabbat shalom!
