Sam Glaser • Shabbas • Jewish Music

Shot on location in the Nachlaot neighborhood of Jerusalem, Sam Glaser gets his family members in on the act on one of Glaser's classic songs from his first Jewish album, Hineni.

Sam roams the planet to over fifty cities each year making Shabbat come alive in Jewish communities. The Sabbath is perhaps the most important single contribution of the Jewish People to the world...why not celebrate it in style?

Working so hard, I keep on wondering
If there is a chance I will ever be through
Coming so far, but just as I'm finishing
It seems there is always some more work to do

I need a day to collect my thoughts
To spend some time with you

Shabbas, Shabbas, Shabbas

Come Friday Eve, the beggar and the billionaire
Will each have a feast that will last through the night
Who could believe that families everywhere
Are singing the songs by the same candlelight

Taking the time to appreciate
The wonderful things you do

Shabbas, Shabbas, Shabbas

When it gets darker on Saturday
I feel so sad as it goes away
I try to bring a little Shabbat in my shavua tov

Shabbat, Shabbat, Shabbat, Shabbat shalom
L'hadlik neir shel Shabbas
Shabbat shalom u'mevorach, Shabbat shalom u'mevorach
Shabbas, Shabbas, Shabbas

Shabbas and Shabbat both mean the Sabbath!
Shavua tov means "have a super week"
To kindle the lights for the Sabbath
May you have a blessed Sabbath
