The song "Shalom Aleichem" is traditionally sung on Friday evening in many Jewish households, and asks the angels to protect us and bless us with peace. The Shalva Band has brought together Israeli communities in the diaspora, alongside evacuees from the south and the north, as well as families of abductees to join in prayer, singing together for peace in Israel. ‎הפיוט שלום עליכם הוא מזמור המאחד את כל הישראלים והיהודים בכל רחבי העולם סביב שולחן השבת. להקת שלווה בביצוע מרגש ומחבר את הלב של כולנו

Shalom Aleichem means “peace be upon you.” It’s the song Jews around the world sing every week to welcome Shabbat. Daniella Gilboa was held hostage for 477 days. Her captors forbade her from singing in Hebrew, so each Shabbat, she sang Shalom Aleichem in Arabic. There are still 59 hostages in Gaza. We continue to pray for their safe return. Daniella refused to lose hope—neither will we. Shabbat Shalom. | AJC - American Jewish Committee

Happy birthday to Sholem Aleichem, the father of modern Yiddish literature! Born in 1859, he brought Eastern European Jewish life to the world with humor, heart, and resilience. His stories, especially Tevye the Dairyman, inspired Fiddler on the Roof and continue to shape Jewish culture today. Over 100,000 people attended his funeral in 1916—a testament to his impact. His words still remind us that even in hardship, there’s room for laughter and hope. #SholemAleichem #Yiddish #JewishHistory #Fid
