Welcoming Shabbat with Lecha Dodi by Cantors Shiree Kidron and Azi Schwartz

It's Friday again and time to welcome another Shabbat. This week we're sharing our 70th version of Lecha Dodi, this time with cantors Azi Schwartz and Shiree Kidron.

We're all familiar with the inspiring voice of Azi Schwartz, lead cantor at the Park Avenue Synagogue in Manhattan. Over the years cantor Schwartz has appeared 26 times on this site with renditions of many parts of the Shabbat services. 

Cantor Shiree Kidron is a unique and versatile vocalist who appears locally and internationally as a classical singer, as well as oratorio and as a Jewish classical and folk music performer.

She received her Master of Music at the Manhattan School of Music and her Bachelor in Music at the Rubin High Academy of Music and Dance in Jerusalem. .

Cantor Kidron currently serves as the Cantor at Or Olam, The East 55th Street Synagogue. She is proud member of the Cantors Assembly. She has been the senior Cantor at Bet Shira Congregation in South Miami and a Cantor at the Park Avenue Synagogue in New York City.

Enjoy, and Shabbat shalom!
