Shavuah tov!

That is a beautiful rendition of שָלוֹם עֲלֵיכֶם (Shalom Aleichem), Vader.
And he does each verse the traditional three times! That is rare to find on a recording, at least the ones I've heard.

A shame it cuts off at the end, but it seems to have switched songs, as I do not know that ending.

Some interesting images for the video portion...

שָלוֹם עֲלֵיכֶם is usually sung on Friday evenings, when one returns home from services and goes to the table for the Festive meal. It is sung standing, since we are welcoming the angels to join us.
As [url=en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shalom_Aleichem_%28liturgy%29]Widkipedia's[/url] entry on the poem wrote:Shalom Aleichem is a traditional song sung Friday night at the beginning of Shabbat, the Jewish Sabbath, welcoming the angels who accompany a person home on the eve of the Sabbath.

According to the Talmud, tractate Shabbat (119b), two angels accompany people on their way back home from Synagogue on Friday night – one good angel and one evil angel. If the house has been prepared for the Sabbath ("the lamp has been lit, the table set, and his couch spread"), the good angel blesses that the next Shabbat will be the same and the evil angel responds Amen. Otherwise, the evil angel wishes that the next Shabbat will be the same and the good angel responds Amen.

According to the Ashkenazi tradition, the song in Hebrew transliteration is as follows:
  • Shalom aleichem malachei ha-shareis malachei elyon, mi-melech malchei ha-melachim Ha-Kadosh Baruch Hu.

    Bo'achem le-shalom malachei ha-shalom malachei elyon, mi-melech malchei ha-melachim Ha-Kadosh Baruch Hu.

    Barchuni le-shalom malachei ha-shalom malachei elyon, mi-melech malchei ha-melachim Ha-Kadosh Baruch Hu.

    Tzeis'chem le-shalom malachei ha-shalom malachei elyon, mi-melech malchei ha-melachim Ha-Kadosh Baruch Hu.
The words to the song translate in English to:
  • Peace upon you, ministering angels, messengers of the Most High, of the Supreme King of Kings, the Holy One, blessed be He.

    Come in peace, messengers of peace, messengers of the Most High, of the Supreme King of Kings, the Holy One, blessed be He.

    Bless me with peace, messengers of peace, messengers of the Most High, of the Supreme King of Kings, the Holy One, blessed be He.

    May your departure be in peace, messengers of peace, messengers of the Most High, of the Supreme King of Kings, the Holy One, blessed be He.
Thank you for sharing that. :)

...and Shabbat Shalom to you, Ms. Mary.

Quite a while until sunset here; hopefully I have caught you before your own ushering in of the lights of Friday night. If not, this was heartfelt, if not quite timely.

Cain...a joyous Shabbes to all.

To Ms. Mary's graphic, I would add the kiddush cup... but then the challah will need a cover, lest it be jealous of the order of blessing.

Edit: here we go:

Hope you guys had a peaceful day of rest!!
Especially ...Menolly since you're healing back up!
(Though I hope the rest throughout the week isn't drivin' ya crazy!)

That's a really pretty/artistic graphic, SD! Love it. What's a real feast without wine, eh?

They don't take long looks at anything, because they lack the courage.
The way to despair is to refuse to have any kind of experience, and the novel, of course, is a way to have experience."
-Flannery O'Connor

The rest of the week is driving me crazy but there's no help for that right now. ;)

I need a long long vacation.

I'm sorry. It stinks when you're in that position. Your resources keep getting sapped, and yet...

Agreed. While it may not be the vacation you need, it is the respite and refocus we get -- every week.

Thanks. It was relaxing, at least.

What a nice way to prepare for Kabbalat Shabbat.

Jewbilation ~ The Sound of Shabbos

Reminds me of the reworked songs we did when I was a member of The Chosen Children as a teen.

Gut Shabbos, everyone.
