The lyrics of the Lecha Dodi prayer correspond to a poem composed by the kabbalist Shlomo Halevi Alkabetz who lived in the mid-16th century and whose motivation was to express the sanctity of Shabbat.
This video was recorded in Chapultepec Forest, the main park in Mexico City by hazanim Ari Litvak and Norman Cohen Falah. Norman is the composer of the melody that is interpreted to the Argentine chacarera rhythm.
Cantor Norman Cohen Falah is a versatile and sensitive interpreter of Jewish music and an accomplished songwriter. Whether at services, weddings, or concerts, the sweet quality of his voice, coupled with his enthusiastic performance, brings to life the joy and spirit of the Jewish heritage, appealing to all audiences.
Ari Litvak has been a hazzan of the Bet El Community in Mexico since 2003. He was trained mainly in his native Buenos Aires and has been a community musical director since he was 13 years old.
Enjoy, and Shabbat Shalom!
