Welcoming Shabbat with Lechu Neranena by Two Los Angeles Cantors

Lechu Neranena is the opening psalm of Kabbalat Shabbat, inviting us to come together and sing our hearts out. 

Here is a melody composed by Cantor Jacqueline Rafii of the Shomrei Torah Synagogue in West Hills, California for this text, inspired by its joyous and uplifting words. Cantor Lisa Peicott of the Wilshire Boulevard Temple in L.A. joins her for this performance.

Enjoy, and Shabbat shalom!
