A custom which is observed with particular consistency in the New York community.On the Shabbat preceding Purim, known as Shabbat Zachor, 'Mi Kamokha', a lengthy Piyyut by Yehuda Halevi, is inserted into Nishmat during Shacharit. In anticipation of this, the Friday night service at Congregation Shearith Israel concludes with Yigdal sung to the melody of that Piyyut, thus introducing the musical theme of the coming day.Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more music from the Spanish and Portuguese Sephardi tradition.
