An original bossa nova-inspired take on Shalom Aleichem, featuring Cantor Bryce Megdal.

Alyssa Rosenbaum sings an original melody for L'kha Dodi. Alyssa Rosenbaum currently serves as Cantorial Soloist at Temple Sinai of Glendale and is due to be ordained as a cantor this May from the Academy for Jewish Religion, California. She has written a number of songs since learning to play the guitar in 2016 and is working on her debut album of Jewish music. L’cha Dodi is the first song she wrote using her guitar, with the chords springing to her fingers unbidden. Instinctively, she began singing L’cha Dodi with this new melody, and it felt right. Alyssa’s rendition is energized and soulful, with influences from Sephardic styles and pop music.
