The song was composed by Baruch Chait, a prominent Jewish composer and founder of the group The Rabbi’s Sons, and produced by Sheya Mendlowitz, a well-known Jewish music producer. The song was recorded in New York and Tel Aviv, and features a unique Chassidic style.

The song is considered one of Fried’s most popular and influential songs, and has been covered by many other Jewish artists, such as Benny Friedman, Ohad Moskowitz, Lipa Schmeltzer and Shloime Daskal. The song is also sung by many Jewish communities around the world on Shabbat and other occasions.

Lyrics

אֵל הַהוֹדָאוֹת, אֲדוֹן הַשָּׁלוֹם,

מְקַדֵּשׁ הַשַׁבָּת, וּמְבָרֵךְ שְׁבִיעִי.

וּמֵנִיחַ בִּקְדֻשָּׁה, לְעַם מְדֻשְּׁנֵי עֹנֶג.

זֵכֶר לְמַעֲשֵׂה בְרֵאשִׁית.

Trivia

• It is interesting to note that it seems like Baruch Chait was not credited on the album for composing this song.
