Shalom alechhem Thank you for sending me this beautiful song. It revived my spirit. How wonderful is His presence! B"H Reply

This morning I woke up looked at my phone and this prayer was there. I am sad at this point in my life. This prayer helped put hope back in my life. Thank you Lord G-d for always being in my life and taking care of me. Reply

Shalom Aleichem This version and the other one by the men's chorus in this newsletter are just glorious! Thank you. Reply

pronunciation He pronounced that way because that is Ashkenazi origin. see it pronucia "Sholom Aleichem malachei ha shareis .." if one ever Sephardic pronunciation would be: "Shalom Alechem Malache ha Sharet".
In Ashkenazic pronunciation they exchange words ending with the letter "T" for "s". look at some examples: Tallit (Sephardic) Tallis (Ashkenazic); Brit milah (Sephardi) Bris Milah (Ashkenazic) ... Reply

Shalom, elyon etc. pronunciation Why does he pronounce shalom, elyon, hakadosh as shaloym, elyoyn, hakadoysh? Reply

The Sholom Aleichem Song! I am going through my conversion and this song sticks to me like "White on Rice!" I love this song and want to thank Chabad.org and all those who allow the continuing of this service. It's a big help. Reply

Shalom Aleichem What a beautiful song and sound. This is the first time l have heard this in Hebrew, and the Spirit of my G-D, HaShem, within went for a dim for a dozen. Oh what a beautiful sound. Even though l could not understand a single word, l felt a complete peace come over me whist l was listening to the song. Thank you. Reply

ms. walters If you like this, you should hear some of the Yiddish lullabyes, like "Rozinkes mit mandlin". "Almonds and Raisins", which is very beautiful. A merchant of almonds and raisins is far away, but mom sings that he'll be back, soon, with almonds and raisins. (or else he trades in almonds and raisins. Not sure of story line. there's also a Sephardic one about several animals, keeps working up to one more either in Ladino or Spanish. Lots of fun to sing. Reply

Shalom Aleichem I forgot to add that the music played is also very beautiful - and I appreciate the slower tempo. Can I order this on CD? Reply

What a beautiful voice--I am very moved!

I too am very happy to have the English translation - Thank You!! Reply

This is so beautiful! Dear listeners,

I am just learning Hebrew, and am in my second year of study towards converting to Judaism; so I am a beginner. I see there is talk of a yiddish accent here--can someone clarify this heavy accent? Sephardic or Ashkenazi? I would like to memorize the song and sing along, but I hear dipthongs where I see single vowels, and it is mysterious to me. I am a language teacher myself, so I am curious about such things. Thank you for any wisdom you may have to enlighten me about this! (And I am buying the CD anyway--I am a sucker for a beautiful, haunting melody.) Reply

Blessing Song My family and I love this song. We first heard this song from the documentary film "Praying With Lior"....we nearly cry every time because it really touches the heart!

Thank you for all the Shabbat Prayers & Songs with the translations for my family to embrace and share.

Thank you again and again....SHALOM! Reply
