Jewish Traces in Unexpected Places: University of the Philippines Plays Hevenu Shalom Aleichem

Hevenu Shalom Aleichem has traveled all over the world and has been played and sung in more countries than any Hebrew song except for Hava Nagila. 

Since we started Jewish Humor Central 12 years ago we have shared versions from 20 countries. Today we're sharing a recent performance of this popular song by the native string ensemble of the Philippines. It's called a rondalla, and it consists of plectrum instruments such as the bandurria, laud, octavina, mandola, guitarra, and bajo de uńas (supplanted today by the regular double bass).

The New Jersey-based University of the Philippines Alumni & Friends Rondalla was established in 1992 as a cultural/educational nonprofit organization. Its membership later expanded to include non-alumni and interested friends age seven and older. Pieces range from simple folk songs and dances, to beautiful symphonic arrangements of beloved Philippine kundimans, Broadway, classical, religious, popular tunes, and well-known melodies from around the world.

Jewish Traces in Unexpected Places: Hevenu Shalom Aleichem as a Chanting Mantra in India

Over the years we've come across renditions of the Hebrew song Hevenu Shalom Aleichem in unexpected locations around the world. But none has been as unique as our discovery of this version in a chanting mantra in a part of India that you probably never heard of.

The video below was made in Auroville, an experimental township in Viluppuram district in the state of Tamil Nadu, India, near Puducherry in South India. It was founded in 1968 by Mirra Alfassa (known as "The Mother") and designed by architect Roger Anger. As stated in Alfassa's first public message about the township, "Auroville is meant to be a universal town where men and women of all countries are able to live in peace and progressive harmony, above all creeds, all politics and all nationalities. The purpose of Auroville is to realize human unity."

Although originally intended to house 50,000, as of May 2014 the actual population was 2,345 (1,804 adults and 541 minors), coming from 50 nationalities including 86 Americans and 31 Israelis. The community is divided up into neighborhoods with Tamil, English, French and Sanskrit names like Aspiration, Arati, La Ferme, Auromodel and Isaiambalam.

So if Hevenu Shalom Aleichem were to appear as a chanting mantra anywhere in the world, it shouldn't come as a surprise that it would happen in Auroville, India. The chant is led by Israeli singer Niva Harel.

Enjoy!
