As we approach Canada Day, I find myself thinking about my 80 year old father, Gerry, and about words he once wrote describing his arrival in this country. His story is personal. But it is also deeply Canadian and, in an important way, deeply Jewish.

My father began simply:

GUT SHABBES | Episode 18: Lecha Dodi Vol. 2

β€œBeloved, come to meet the bride; let us welcome the presence of the Sabbath...”

This week, I share a second, special rendition of β€œLecha Dodi,” bringing another beautiful melody to these timeless words. Filmed along the scenic, vibrant streets of Yorkville during the beautiful Canadian summer, this performance captures the joy, warmth, and anticipation as we go out to welcome the Sabbath queen.

Join the journey every Friday.

Performed by: Chaim Stern
Music Production: Ari Posner
Video: Micha Sky
