Contributed by: Rose-Ella Slavin. Shalom Rav by Jeff Klepper and Dan Freelander.
The prayer Shalom Rav was put to music in 1974 and was my favorite song in BBYO and Jewish camp services when I was a teenager. It was also sung at my Reform synagogue. When I joined CEH, we didn’t sing the song as part of services. Jonah Rosman interviewed some congregants over ZOOM during COVID, and he asked me what my favorite prayer was. I said it was Shalom Rav except that I missed singing it. I’m sad that it is the events of October 7th which has brought this song to our service, but it is still my favorite – and the most deeply felt part – of the Friday night service. Thank you to Gary Singer for incorporating it. Learn More.
