Welcoming Shabbat and Shavuot with a Harvest Festival Song by Yonina

Finding songs for Shavuot, which starts after the end of Shabbat tomorrow night, isn't as easy as it is for the other Jewish holidays. But Yonina has posted an old favorite, Saleinu al Ktefeinu, (Our baskets are on our shoulders), which we're glad to share with you today. 

Shavuot is also known as Yom HaBikkurim (Day of the first fruits) and Chag HaKatzir (Harvest Festival). 

Yoni and Nina Tokayer, a married musical duo who live in the small town of Pardes Chana, Israel, have been uploading home videos to Facebook and Youtube and reaching millions. They have both been singing and writing since they can remember, and have been making music together ever since they met.

Below the video you'll find the transliterated Hebrew and English lyrics.

We'll be observing Shavuot on Sunday and Monday, so our next post will be on Tuesday.

Shabbat shalom and Chag sameach!
