In this diverse Shalom Aleichem medley, Israeli pop star Itzik Eshel switches between many different tunes, including those with Mizrahi musical influences, as well as the classic melody composed by Cantor Israel Goldfarb in 1918 and a popular tune from Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach that is not normally used for Shalom Aleichem. This song is from his album, “In Honor of the Holy Sabbath,” a collaborative project of Shabbat songs created together with other Israeli artists from across the religious spectrum. Eshel’s version of Shalom Aleichem reflects many Sephardic and Mizrahi customs, such as reciting the phrase “malachei rachamim” (angels of mercy), including the verse “b’shivtechem l’shalom” (may your rest be in peace), and omitting the final verse, “tzeitchem l’shalom” (go in peace), as to not actively kick the angels out of the home. He also says “melech” (king) instead of “mi melech” (from the king) and “barchunu” (bless us) instead of “barchuni” (bless me). Eshel is a popular Israeli musician, heavily influenced by the Breslov branch of Hasidic Judaism, based on the teachings of Rebbe Nachman of Breslov.
