Welcoming Shabbat with Lecha Dodi Sung by Randy Herman and Yifaat Asher to Billy Joel's "Honesty"

Fitting Friday night melodies to popular tunes can be a challenge. Sometimes the fit is natural and sometimes seems forced. But this Lecha Dodi adaptation of Billy Joel's hit song Honesty flows naturally.

The performers are singer Yifaat Asher and Cantor Randy Herman of the Chizuk Amuno Congregation & Schools in Baltimore, Maryland.

Enjoy, and Shabbat shalom!

Welcoming Shabbat with a Disney Adon Olam by Cantor Thom King and Baltimore's Beth El Choir

Adon Olam, the liturgical poem that ends most Shabbat services around the world, has been set to many melodies from popular culture.

Disney movies have included songs that are readily adapted to the liturgy of the Shabbat service. Cantor Thom King of Baltimore's Beth El Congregation, together with the Beth El Choir, have recorded a version of Adon Olam set to Under the Sea, a selection from Disney's The Little Mermaid.

Enjoy, and Shabbat shalom!
