Overview

A Beautiful Revival of a Timeless Jewish Tradition NEW! Shabbat Blessing: A Silent Blessing for Centuries Is Blessed with Two New Melodies is a heartfelt and inspiring addition to any Jewish music collection. Sharon Esther Lampert, as mezzo-soprano and visionary behind this project, brings a profound depth to the ancient ""Yehe Ratzon L'fanecha"" blessing, which has been silently recited by Jewish women for centuries during Shabbat candle lighting. Paired with world-renowned Israeli composer Ronn Yedidia's exquisite Traditional and Hassidic melodies for voice and piano, this sheet music book transforms a quiet ritual into a melodic celebration of love, light, and life. The book includes the full Hebrew text, English translation, transliteration, and liturgical notation, making it accessible for singers and pianists of all levels. I especially loved the inclusion of Yedidia's original handwritten manuscripts-it's like holding a piece of musical history. Lampert's vocals (available via linked recordings) are soul-stirring, evoking the essence of Jewish women's roles as ""vessels of love, light, and life,"" as quoted from Eve Paikoff. As someone who incorporates Shabbat rituals into family gatherings, this has elevated our candle-lighting moments. The Hassidic melody adds a joyful, uplifting energy, while the Traditional one offers serene elegance. Perfect for synagogues, choirs, or personal practice-highly recommended for anyone seeking to enrich their spiritual repertoire!
