about

“This setting of L’kha Dodi was
commissioned by Park Avenue Synagogue.
I tried to compose an accessible to all ages
melody which will welcome the Shabbat
with joy, enthusiasm and majesty. Growing
up in Israel, the moment of welcoming
the Shabbat was very special to me and
I wanted to communicate the transition
between the secular and the holy.”
—Oran Eldor

lyrics

Come my beloved, with chorus of praise;
Welcome Shabbat the Bride, Queen of our
days. “Keep” and “remember” Were uttered
as one By our Creator, Beyond comparison.
Adonai is one and His name is one,
Reflected in glory, in fame, And in praise.
Come, let us greet Shabbat, Queen sublime,
Fountain of blessings, In every clime.
Anointed and regal, Since the earliest time,
In thought she preceded Creation’s six days.
Come in peace, soul-mate, Sweet Bride
so adored, Greeted with joy, in song and
accord, Amidst God’s people, The faithful
restored, Come, Bride Shabbat; Come,
crown of the days.
