Israel Navy Soldiers Sing Shabbat Song At Sea (video)
from the Youtube description:
As Shabbat began last week, these soldiers had already set sail to stop Iran's weapons shipment from reaching Gaza terrorists. In the middle of the sea, they all sang "Shalom Aleichem" -- a Shabbat song meaning "peace be upon you." Days later, their successful mission brought peace upon the entire nation of Israel. They are our heroes. Shabbat Shalom.

It is beautiful. But I'd still rather it wasn't on video. Watching it might be a shayla of maaseh shabbos, consult your LOR
ReplyDeleteIt should be stressed that the Navy is a lot more secular than the rest of the IDF, although it's been getting more religious lately. Note also all the high-ranking officers in the picture.
ReplyDeleteThe confusion at the end is because Sephardim have a fifth stanza, but it's between 3 and 4. So they got to the last, and the Ashkenazim are all, "Huh? We said that one already." You can hear it when they sing the fourth.
Anon: Let's be dan l'kaf zechut and assume this is the early shift. :-)
