Shalom Aleichem is the most organically written song on this album.  It started as a guitar groove in the Teatron at URJ Kutz Camp, and we developed the melody in our first attempt.  At the time, we had a siddur(Prayer book) open to the words of Shalom Aleichem, and we knew that this melody was a perfect fit.  Just as the text of this song welcomes the Angels of the Sabbath, the melody has strong influences of more traditional songs that welcome everyone to the community.  From the exceptional drum lines to the fast pace melody, Shalom Aleichem provides a new and rich sensation for Shabbat services.  Unexpectedly different, the tune leaves you with an entertaining echo that will keep you wanting more.
