Wow! That makes you dance in your chair. Amazing.., we sing while others spend their time hating. Boy, what they're missing. Thank you singers and all those involved.

My 7 old son showed me this song he heard at school and it is so wonderfully catchy! Amazing group of musicians at work.

[@rzldzl122]

Love this!, Contrary to common thought, Adon Olam Doesn't mean "Fold your tallis now"

[@susanlewispaciga9227]

That's great, Lynn! Made me laugh out loud. It sure works that way, doesn't it?

[@Desertdn]

"Fold your tallis now" LOL!

I just stumbled on this video at 1:00 a.m. and was pleasantly surprised. Nice rendition of Adon Olam. My friend sang in choirs for many years and knew 65 different melodies for Adon Olam. I never heard this melody before and find myself tapping my toes to it. Very nice performance; thank you to all involved.

[@chanaovadia3570]

I love this - the whole group is wonderful. Thank you and Mazel tov to all for such a great rendition of a traditional song.

Adon olam asher malach, b'terem kol y'tzir niv-ra. L'eit na'asah b'cheftzo kol, azai melech sh'mo nikra. V'acharei kichlot hakol, l'vado yimloch nora. V'hu hayah, v'hu hoveh, v'hu yihyeh, b'tifarah. V'hu echad v'ein sheni, l'hamishil lo l'hachbirah. B'li reishit b'li tachlit, v'lo haoz v'hamisra. V'hu eili v'chai goali v'tsur chevli b'eit tsarah. V'hu nisi umanos li, m'nat kosi b'yom ekrah. B'yado afkid ruchi, b'eit ishan v'airah. V'im ruchi g'viati, Adonai li v'lo irah. אֲדוֹן עוֹלָם אֲשֶׁר מָלַךְ, בְּטֶרֶם כָּל יְצִיר נִבְרָא. לְעֵת נַעֲשָׂה בְחֶפְצוֹ כֹּל, אֲזַי מֶלֶךְ שְׁמוֹ נִקְרָא. וְאַחֲרֵי כִּכְלוֹת הַכֹּל, לְבַדּוֹ יִמְלוֹךְ נוֹרָא. וְהוּא הָיָה, וְהוּא הֹוֶה, וְהוּא יִהְיֶה, בְּתִפְאָרָה. וְהוּא אֶחָד וְאֵין שֵׁנִי, לְהַמְשִׁיל לוֹ לְהַחְבִּירָה. בְּלִי רֵאשִׁית בְּלִי תַכְלִית, וְלוֹ הָעֹז וְהַמִּשְׂרָה. וְהוּא אֵלִי וְחַי גֹּאֲלִי, וְצוּר חֶבְלִי בְּעֵת צָרָה. וְהוּא נִסִּי וּמָנוֹס לִי, מְנָת כּוֹסִי בְּיוֹם אֶקְרָא. בְּיָדוֹ אַפְקִיד רוּחִי, בְּעֵת אִישַׁן וְאָעִירָה. וְעִם רוּחִי גְּוִיָּתִי, יְיָ לִי וְלֹא אִירָא.

Proof positive that you can sing Adon Olam to almost any melody!

[@columbus8myhw]

8 syllables per line, iambic, perfect for literally anything

Any melody in 4/4 or 2/2, anyway.
