Welcoming Shabbat with "Oseh Shalom" by Cantor Tifani Coyot of Temple Beth Am in Los Angeles

Oseh Shalom Bimromav appears multiple times in our Shabbat services, as it is part of the Kaddish prayer.

A musical version of Oseh Shalom was composed by prolific Israeli composer Nurit Hirsh, who is also known for BaShana HaBa-ah and A-Ba-Ni-Bi.

Oseh Shalom Bimromav was composed for the first Hasidic Song Festival, held in 1969, where it took third prize. Her melody has since become part of the liturgy in synagogues and Jewish communities worldwide.

This week we're welcoming Shabbat with the singing of Oseh Shalom Bimromav by Cantor Tifani Coyot of Temple Beth Am in Los Angeles, California. 

Enjoy, and Shabbat shalom!

Chassidic Singer Uses Kaddish as Basis of Upbeat Dance Video

Chassidic singer Simche Friedman has released a new music video that will put the solemn words of the Kaddish prayer in a whole new light.

As reported in the Chabad Lubavitch Community News Services (COLlive),

The song "Bekarov" blends the ancient Aramaic words with modern Hebrew to create an upbeat dance track that expresses how Kaddish gives renewed hope in Hashem's world.

It was composed by renowned jazz and saxophone artist Daniel Zamir, who is also the artistic director of 'Mizmor', a religious Music Academy.

Produced by musician Yoni Eliyav, the song is enhanced by the talent of some of the top names in the Israeli electronic music industry: Tal Matmor, Amit Harel, and Ron Tichon.

"The song represents a fresh new synthesis in Jewish-Chassidic music, a high-quality blend that wets the appetite for more," said Friedman, who is a nephew of music star Avraham Fried.

If you listen to the song more than a few times, you may have a hard time explaining to your shul friends why you're jumping up and down every time Kaddish is recited.

Enjoy and Shabbat shalom!
