It is always nice to hear a fresh new sound to Jewish music! This musician sings a beautiful tune for the song that brings in the Shabbat. Don’t miss it!

The New Sound to Jewish Music

Getting ready for Shabbat by sundown can be overwhelming and stressful. There are groceries to be bought, food to be cooked, things to be cleaned, and it seems like the time just runs out. But when you prepare for Shabbat with Eliyahu Chait, it can make all the preparations easier! He is the son of a famous legendary composer named R’ Baruch Chait. After listening to this, you can assume he is making his father proud.

Music makes things better. It can give a positive feeling to any situation. And that pre-Shabbat atmosphere can definitely use some good Jewish music!
