This is a recording of Rabbi Shmuel Brazil's original, uptempo rendition of Shalom Aleichem, from the "Regesh Volume 3 – Shabbos" album. Composed in 1985, this melody has become popular at Shabbat tables around the world. Rav Shmuel Brazil is an American singer and composer of original Jewish music, as well as Rosh Yeshivah (Principal) of Yeshivat Zeev Hatorah, an Orthodox men's Torah learning institution in Jerusalem. Shalom Aleichem is traditionally sung before the Kiddush (blessing over the wine) as part of the Shabbat evening dinner ritual.
