Welcoming Shabbat with Shalom Aleichem by Akademos Choir in Lublin, Poland

The Polish city of Lublin once served as one the most important centers of Jewish life, commerce, culture and scholarship in Europe. It had the world's largest Talmudic school. Lublin was also well known for its fairs and market days. Little remains today of its past splendor.

But today Lublin is the home of the Akademos Choir - the mixed choir of the Private Junior High School and High School. Ignacy Jan Paderewski in Lublin. Founded in September 2006, it is one of the Lublin choirs taking part in the All-Poland Choir Program "Singing Poland".  

The choral repertoire is very diverse: gospel, entertainment music, carols and pastoral, patriotic songs. The choir performs both a capella and with accompaniment. It has numerous occasional concerts co-organized with the Lublin Philharmonic and concerts abroad.

In this video the Akademos Choir sings Shalom Aleichem.

Enjoy, and Shabbat Shalom.
