[HANASHIR:12400] Re: Lecha Dodi

[Eric Komar <ekomar...>]

I'm with the people who claim it's by Abie Rotenberg from the group Dveykus. 
And it is in the Complete Shireinu. Craig Taubman's is more like: L'- L'- 
L'chah dodi, Li- Li- Likrat kalah ...

Incidentally, Cantor Jordan Franzel recently informed me that the actual title 
of the song is "Bo-i V'shalom", which people will recognize as being from the 
*last* verse of the text. This is because Dveykus sings only this verse in 
their original recording. The "full" L'chah Dodi text was evidently an 
adaptation that started in the camps or somewhere.

  Hi there,

  I'm pretty sure that Craig Taubman did this version of Lecha Dodi. I also 
think I know the version that is the "camp version" but I don't have the music 
for it.

  Shabbat Shalom

    Does anyone know which version of Lecha Dodi is referred to as the "camp" 
version (presumably popular at the UAHC camps)?  Also, there's a version of 
Lecha Dodi I have that purportedly is from Temple B'nai Jeshurun in New York, 
but the Cantor who gave me the music did not know the composer.  The chorus 
goes:

    Lai, lai lai lecha dodi
    Lai, Lai lai likrat chala
    Lai, lai lai p'ney Shabbat
    P'ney Shabbat n'kabalah

    Anyone have an idea who the composer is?

    Thanks.
