Anim Zemoris - Hamadregot

At the end of this great shabbos video, is this song.


Shabbat Shalom.

"Landsmen!!!" • The Frisco Kid

The final possuk in today's Shir Shel Yom always reminds me of this movie: "Vayacheele-e-ehu mechelev chee-taaaaaw...umitzooor, dvash asbee-e-e-ekaaaaw..." But I can't find that particular clip :)

Shabbos kumt!

Heppiness • Tizmoret AmamitEDITOR'S PICK

The only disappointment is the lack of a WOOOOOOOOOOOONK-klunk tuba-and-snare ending so you can jump off the chair you're dancing on, fall to your knees and exhale.

HT:Shmuel, who originally sent "Tzomo, tzomo", which I could not find on Youtube. Check out their other stuff, including "Village" and "Light"

Ki Simachtani • Pirchei

Aaaaaaaand, welcome back to 1976. With us today, a group that preceded my childhood but languished on record well into it; songs heard around the Shabbos table still. Pirchei, layduz and jennelmin...

Didan (Victory Song) • 8th Day

Today is the best day that today will ever be.

Y-ah Ribon • Aaron Razel / Shir Tzion

Three things to hear:

The final syllable of each stanza is the first of the refrain "...lihachavaYAH ribon olam..."

"Ovad GIvurteich vitimhaya.." is an identical tenuah to minute 1:37 of Arturo Marquez's Danzon No. 2, conducted exquisitely ad lev hashamayim here by our hero Gustova Dudamel, who deserves an annual mention.

The sound of Shabbos!!!

Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh • MBD / Ein Od Milvado

In Hilchos Kedusha (Orech Chaim, 125:3), the Alter Rebbe quotes this entire passage as a "smach" for the custom to lift our feet during the words "Kadosh", "Boruch" and "Yimloch". So, of course, it took us eight times longer than usual to get through the se'if.

Bird of Hope • MBD/Vichol Maaminim

Ohhhh, Hashem! Please bring us hope for tomorrow! (And for Friday too!)

HT:MM, AF, MBD

Jews of Silence • Tzlil V'zemer 3

This post could be any of a half-dozen songs relevant to today. But it will be something that our Shliach Tzibbur was humming while wrapping up his Tallis. It is relevant in some sense to the just-passed Chanukah holiday, the present Hey Teves celebration and the court hearing that is happening today to stop the pending ban on traditional Bris Mila. "Is that really the plan?" you ask. "To ban Bris Mila?" Let's not find out. Let's not be silent, so we'll never be silenced.

Yizkereim • MBD / We Are One

The ninth day of Chanukah is when we take it all in and shine outward.

Lichtalach • Tzlil V'zemer

This is the third, but never the last time that this song is posted (previously posted in 2008 and 2010). Because, really, "Aier faier is heilig un taier!"

Rock on, Jews! Be happy, be bright, be lightful!

Eililulilu • Yossele Rosenblatt

My bubby sang it to my mom, my mom sang it to me, b'sheim my bubby. I have to master it so I can sing it to my-lilulilu.

Ko Echsof • Yehuda Green

Thank you, people who watch, listen and smile, and thank you for telling me about it every now and then. Here's Yehuda Green, Chassidishe neshama, singing Koh Echsof. It is either his own heart-stopping composition, or I am missing an obvious link...

Why today? Because it's an addictive song that I don't deserve to be hooked on alone. But also because today is Wednesday. On Wednesday we recite the verses "Lechu Niranina" in Shir Shel Yom.

The Frierdiker Lubavitcher Rebbe teaches: An explanation of the three verses beginning l'chu n'ran'na, in a manner meaningful to everyone, is as follows: Wednesday, we begin thinking: What will we have for Shabbat? This is a concern in the literal sense and also spiritually, "how can we Shabbos" (i.e. make a real Shabbat)? After all, every person is quite different on Shabbat than on a weekday. So we become a bit despondent. The solution is l'chu n'ran'na ("Come let us sing"), have faith, trust. Comes Thursday, it is now closer to Shabbat and we still have nothing. It doesn't seem to "n'ran'na" so easily and we realize we must do something. So we study Chassidus Thursday night, so that by Friday we sense the depth of "...for the L-rd is a great G-d and a great King1..."; and with this a Jew "can Shabbos." Original Yiddish.

Hanimtza Ka'zeh? • Aaron Razel

The last pasuk of yesterday's Chitas. One of the first Tenuos that opened me to Razeler Chassidus, c. 1998. (He used to play the Motza'i Shabbos Kumzitz circuit in Tzfas עיה"ק תובב"א.) It took a decade before I became a Chassid.

Haneiros Halalu • The Chassidic House Party feat. Choni G

If ShirShelYom exists for a single reason, that single reason is this. For a quick-fix, watch from 5:05, then again from 7:05.

The Chassidic House Party has arrived for very, very good, my friends. Recorded on Samsung Galaxy by SSY Contibutor Levi.

Lamma Balue • 8th Day

Welcome back, Divshare! We missed you bad! a

Memories • Avraham Fried and MBD

Pretty much the best Jewish concert, period. Ohel Concert 5768 (1998)

I'm always struck by Fried's subtle change of lyric to reflect his Chabaditude: "There is little I can say or do..." (Originally "There is nothing...")
