The first video is a recording of the two Berakhot recited before the lighting, with the addition of Shehecheyanu which is read on the first night. The style presented here reflects the musical tradition of the Spanish and Portuguese Jewish community of London. One of its notable characteristics is the way each Berakha begins in a minor key and transitions to a major key. This tonal shift often serves as a powerful musical device, symbolising the progression from solemn petition to joyous celebration.Please like and share.
