Welcoming Shabbat with Yedid Nefesh by Assaf Shefer

Assaf Shefer began his musical journey at a siddur party at the age of four when he came up as a soloist and thrilled the audience with his voice. Later, as part of his studies, Asaf participated in in the discovery of young talents in his city, and was praised by the organizers and critics of the event. 

Over time, Shefer began to sing and play at family and friends' events, where he realized that he needed professional voice training. Several years ago, Assaf Shafer burst into the public consciousness when he beat dozens of candidates and was crowned as the "next voice" in Jewish music by an extensive panel of judges.

In today's Welcome to Shabbat, Assaf sings Yedid Nefesh, the liturgical poem that precedes the Kabbalat Shabbat service.

Enjoy, and Shabbat shalom!
