Shalom Rav Birkon (Multilingual Edition)

The birkon, found on every Shabbat table, is a potentially inspirational treasure for each and every Shabbat meal. From the mitzvot of Kiddush, Havdala, and Birkat HaMazon, to the lifecycle events of sheva berakhot and brit mila, and of course the Rishonim-authored zemirot, our birkon is an overflowing reservoir of material to uplift our Shabbat experience and to edify our spiritual yearnings. In this birkon, commentary has been presented to peruse during the singing, or better yet, to prepare beforehand to share with all the attendees, to make the mitzva or zemer that much more meaningful.
