Shabbat Shalom
First Pieces, B
A song for the Jewish sabbath! Shabbat is the Hebrew word for Sabbath, and Shalom means peace. Shabbat Shalom is a common greeting on Friday evening or throughout the day until evening on Saturday. So when you say, "Shabbat Shalom" you are wishing someone peace on the Sabbath or wishing them the peace that the Sabbath itself brings.
The First Pieces version has the part of the song with the most memorable melody, one which opens with three syncopated notes. The version in Level 1 adds a part with an insistent repeated note usually sung in a higher register but arranged here in a lower octave for simplicity. And finally people often sing a third part with the nonsense syllables, "Bim bam" but this third section does not appear in either of your new arrangements.
Pictured above are the ritual bread (Challah), candles and wine for Friday night's Sabbath dinner.
