Ethiopian Melody for Lecha Dodi on the Tel Aviv Port

This 5 minute long video presents an upbeat traditional Ethiopian melody for Lecha Dodi, the central song of the Kabbalat Shabbat service. This recording comes from the Kabbalat Shabbat service of Beit Tefilah Israeli, a creative, innovative and inclusive Jewish-Israeli community that offers meaningful Jewish ritual, study, activism and a sense of belonging to the general Israeli public and visiting Jews worldwide. Beit Tefilah Israeli holds its uplifting Kabbalat Shabbat services — combining prayer, music, meditation, poetry, singing and dancing — in front of the sea at sunset on the deck at the Tel Aviv Port.
