In this clip, Israeli pop singer Sarit Hadad performs the first stanza of Shalom Aleichem, using the popular melody composed by Cantor Israel Goldfarb in 1918. Hadad's Shalom Aleichem is part of a longer song, "Father, Have Mercy on Sons," which also includes other excerpts from Jewish liturgy in a song begging for God's guidance and protection. To hear the full song, see below. Whereas Hadad presents an original melody for the rest of the song, she concludes with her own rendition of the Goldfarb's Shalom Aleichem. Hadad, crowned "best female singer of the 2000s" by the Israeli Music TV Channel in 2009, performs Mizrahi style music, often including lyrics in English, Arabic, Georgian, Turkish and Greek.
