In the longer text of complete Friday night blessing over the wine we sanctify Shabbat both as a crowing achievement of the work of Creation, and as a reminder of our Exodus from Egypt, a symbol of our freedom. This melody, written by Lois Lewandowsky, one of the most famous and influential Cantor and composer of Jewish Music, is known and sung by diverse Jewish communities throughout the world every Friday night.
В полном тексте Пятничного благословения над вином мы отмечаем двойной символизм Шаббата как венца Творения и как напоминания об Исходе из Египта - символа нашей свободы. Эта мелодия, написанная Люисом Левандовски, одним из самых известных и влиятельных Канторов и композиторов еврейской музыки, хорошо известна и часто исполняется в Шаббат в еврейских общинах по всему миру.
Praise to You, Adonai our God, Sovereign of the universe,
Creator of the fruit of the vine.
Praise to You, Adonai our God, Sovereign of the universe
who finding favor with us, sanctified us with mitzvot.
In love and favor, You made the holy Shabat our heritage
as a reminder of the work of Creation.
As first among our sacred days, it recalls the Exodus from Egypt.
You chose us and set us apart from the peoples.
In love and favor You have given us Your holy Shabbat as an inheritance.
