Sing a New Song is Psalm 96 that we sing as part of the welcoming of Shabbat in our Kabbalat Shabbat Service every Friday evening.

At this time, we are staying apart to guard against spreading the Corona Virus. But we will emerge, hopefully using this time to reflect on who we are and what is truly important. We will be singing a new song!

Enjoy Moshav’s rendition of Carelbach’s tune to the special words of the poem that is Psalm 96.

Shabbat Shalom!
