Welcoming Shabbat with Adon Olam sung by the London Cantorial Singers in Liverpool

It's time to welcome another Shabbat with Adon Olam, the traditional song that concludes the Mussaf service. 

Today we're sharing a version sung at a Tribute Concert in the memory of Cantor Rev. Henry and Mrs Helena Chait held in Liverpool's historic Princes Road Synagogue on June 11. The concert featured their sons Rabbi Alby Chait, Chazan Benjamin Chait & Chazan Charles Chait who were singing together for the first time in 17 years. 

They were joined by Rabbi Natan Fagleman, Cantor Rev. David Rome, Cantor Henry Black & Cantor David Shine along with The London Cantorial Singers under the leadership of Alan Freedman, David Druce (choir chairman) & David Silkoff (choir pianist).

Princes Road Synagogue is home to the oldest Jewish congregation in the city. The first stone was laid in 1872 by William and George Audsley, and was completed and consecrated at a ceremony led by Chief Rabbi Dr. Nathan M. Adler in September 1874.

Today, the synagogue is a big part of the local community and welcomes visitors and members weekly to Shabbat followed by Kiddush in the newly renovated annex.

It is open, by prior arrangement, for tours by schools, community groups and visitors, and it also runs a full events calendar including talks, concerts and plays.
