Notes Shabbat becomes more than a weekly reprieve from workaday tasks in this new recording by Gadi Elon. Through songs and chants like "Zeidi", "E-Shet Chayil", "Shalom Alechem" and more, the Shabbat is celebrated as a holy day when Jews the world over reconnect with their spirituality and rededicate themselves to the Torah and its teachings.

Recordings restricted by copyright will only play 45 seconds to give you a sense of what that recording originally sounded like. These recordings can be identified by the words (Research Station) in the music player.
