Shmully-1

Davening Friday Night with an Angel

$9.95

This CD was created by a very dear friend, Cantor Shmully Blesofsky, from the famous cantorial Blesofsky family in Crown Heights. Shmully is gifted with a rare and beautiful voice, and at my urging, he went into a Professional Music Studio in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, and made a CD of him singing the Friday Night Kabbalat service. I asked him to do this, as a special favor, for the times when I can not get to Synagogue on Shabbos, but I still want want to pray and get a strong spiritual connection before sundown.

About a half hour before candle lighting, I put on his CD, and daven along with him. There are 17 tracks on the CD, from different parts of the service.

I have prayed all over the world, with many special people with strong Kavanah, but I don’t get the spiritual connection I get when I Daven with Shmully.

Davening Friday Night with an Angel is a complete Kabbalat Shabbat service sung by Cantor Shmully and produced by Zalman Velvel. It walks through the Friday night liturgy from Lecha Dodi to the closing Aleinu, sung the way it was sung in the old shuls — slow where it needs to be slow, soaring where it needs to soar.

The CD is meant for two kinds of people. The first is the regular shul-goer who wants the music in their car or kitchen during the week. The second is the Jew who has not been to a Friday night service in years and wants to remember what it sounded like — or hear it for the first time without the social pressure of walking in.

If you light candles on Friday night and want a soundtrack to set the table by, this is the one.
