Return to main lyrics page Shabbat Shalom S, H, A, B, B, A, T, S, H, A, L, O, M. At the begining of time the Lord worked all day He toiled six in a row and that was his way But then on the seventh day, all work ceased The Lord took a rest and all would be at peace This day of rest, the Lord called Shabbat A covenant was made and it meant a lot Between the Lord and the Jews way in the past Let the Sabbath begin with a shofar blast CHORUS Shabbat Shalom, Shabbat Shalom Wether in your temple or just at home Shabbat Shalom, Shabbat Shalom Give thanks for the blessings of Adon Olam S, H, A, B, B, A, T, S, H, A, L, O, M. (2X) Shabbat Shalom or better yet good Shabbis (2X) Exodus and Deuteronomy is where its found Zacor and Shamor commandments abound Remember and observe each Sabbath Day In the 10 Commandments, the only holiday From slaves to freedom we can’t forget Observing this day, the Sabbath bride is met Two candles are lit and their light drawn in With warmth and joy let the Sabbath begin CHORUS As a day of rest no work’s allowed To keep the Sabbath holy the Jews have vowed Havdalah is the prayer that ends the rest It means separation and all are blessed Spices are used so the souls are uplifted Longing for the Sabbath all must feel gifted The new week comes that we must get through If the Lord can take a break then we can too CHORUS It was Friday night, I was feeling cool As my family and I went to our shul My rabbi was there and the cantor too And it felt really good to be a Jew We sang and we prayed and we read out loud The shma as one voice came from the crowd Sabbath candles lit, wine and bread to share And an oneg with goodies beyond compare CHORUS When I say Shabbat, you say Shalom Shabbat, Shalom Shabbat, Shalom CHORUS Return to main lyrics page
