In this instructional video, Alicia Jo Rabins sings Shalom Aleichem slowly and clearly, using one of the most popular tunes, composed by Cantor Israel Goldfarb in 1918. Including a brief introduction to Shalom Aleichem and an onscreen English translation and transliteration, this is a great resource for beginners who want to learn the traditional Ashkenazi custom. Although Rabins focuses on how to teach this song to children, it is relevant for any one who wants to learn how to participate in this ritual. Although she sings each of the four stanzas only once, many have the custom of repeating each one three times. Alicia Jo Rabins is a writer, musician, composer, performer and Torah teacher exploring the intersection of ancient wisdom texts with everyday life.
