In this video, the 5th grade boys of Yeshiva Darchei Torah Boys Choir of Far Rockaway, NY perform Shalom Aleichem using the tune of Benny Friedman, an American Hasidic singer and composer. They use the “Yeshivish” pronunciation popular in North American Orthodox Ashkenazi communities. Shalom Aleichem is traditionally sung before the Kiddush as part of the Shabbat evening dinner ritual. The choir sings the four stanzas in a different order than is traditionally used during the Shabbat ritual, where each is customarily repeated three times.Â
