Welcoming Shabbat with Adon Olam by Russia's Red Army Choir in Tel Aviv

A few years ago we posted a version of Adon Olam that was sung by Russia's Red Army Choir during a concert at the Sultan's Pool in Jerusalem in 2014.

Three years later a more diverse Red Army Choir gave another rousing performance of Adon Olam in Tel Aviv with singers in military dress and a group of folk dancers in traditional costumes.

Here's a video of the 2017 performance that's the 71st version of Adon Olam that we've posted since starting Jewish Humor Central.

Enjoy, and Shabbat shalom!

Welcoming Shabbat with Adon Olam by Russia's Red Army Choir

The Alexandrov Ensemble, commonly known as the Red Army Choir in the West, is an official army choir of the Russian armed forces. Founded during the Soviet era, the ensemble consists of a male choir, an orchestra, and a dance ensemble.

The Ensemble has entertained audiences both in Russia and throughout the world, performing a range of music including folk tunes, hymns, operatic arias and popular music. The group's repertoire has included The Volga Boatmen's Song, Katyusha, Kalinka, and Ave Maria.

This week we're enlisting them to lead us in singing Adon Olam as we welcome another Shabbat. The video is of a performance at the Sultan's Pool in Jerusalem.

Shabbat shalom!
