Shimon Bar Yochai is launching a unique and first-of-its-kind musical project, which connects the Shabbat poems most identified with the people of Israel with iconic melodies from the world of Mizrahi singing of the past.

A host of selected piyyutim, such as "Ki Ashmara Shabbat," "Lecha Dodi," and others, are now presented in an innovative and surprising musical setting, which puts us straight into the atmosphere of Shabbat.
