The Most Famous Adon Olam in Israel

As we bring Israel Week to a close, here is perhaps the most famous tune for Adon Olam ever, composed by Uzi Hitman (1952-2004). I was fortunate to collaborate with Uzi, a secular Jew who was very proud of his contribution to Jewish liturgical music.
Years ago, when I sang it to soldiers all over Israel during my IDF service, they enjoyed singing along. Nowadays, people hum this tune on their way home from Shabbat services. Wishing you all a Shabbat Shalom

Catholics are very "Jewish" in practice. :)

I grew up in England and loved these wonderful prayers. I live in Israel now. The people here are so brave. Older men with families have volunteered for the army. They have all gone to fight for our country.

Uzi Chitman died too soon, but he left us with this beautiful melody.

​@@catherinethomas1276God is only Hashem in the Torah, jesus is a fictional god you made , christianity is paganism idol worshipers , you worship a man who died God is eternal , unchanging and doesn't need yo become a man , we don't want you in Israel , Israel is the holy land of jews ✡️✡️✡️ not paganism

[@soupforthefamily8378]

⁠@@ALMASIHIYthis song is Jewish, it isn’t about Jesus. If you think Jesus is Gd, than you are Christian and not part of Am Israel.

[@استاذدانيال]

The words in both Hebrew and English are written right there in the video. There are other videos on KZbin featuring the same ligurgical poem (it's not really a "prayer" because G-d isn't addressed in the poem, but rather the congregation is), and you'll easily find explanations of its meaning.

[@nick_no1]

Adon Olam Señor de un mundo que reina. Ante todo ser creado: El rey del mundo, que gobernó antes que cualquier criatura fue creada. Cuando hacemos lo que queremos. Por eso se llama el nombre del rey: En el momento en que fueron hechos, todo estaba según Su voluntad, y luego Su nombre fue llamado "Rey". Y cuando todo estuvo terminado, él solo gobernaba, imponente. Y él fue. Y él fue. Y será con esplendor: Él era, Él es y será con esplendor. Y él es uno y no hay otro. para compararlo con una oración: Y él fue el primero, sin segundo, en gobernar. sobre él o colaborar; Sin cabeza sin propósito. Y si el macho cabrío y el siervo: sin principio ni fin, tiene la fuerza y ​​el derecho. Y él es para mí y mi redentor viviente. Y haz mis cuerdas en tiempo de angustia: Y él es mi Dios, mi redentor está vivo; la roca que me sostiene en el día angustioso. Y él lo intentó y me evitó. Una porción de taza el día de Ikra: Y él es mi estandarte y refugio, la porción de mi copa en el día que clamo. En su mano dejaré mi alma. En su mano guardo mi espíritu, [porque] cuando duermo, [sé que] despertaré. Y con mi alma yo era gentil. Dios es por mí y no temeré: Y con mi espíritu está mi cuerpo; Dios está por mí y no temeré.

Crown of all time, the one who reigned Before all mortal shape was made and when God’s will brought forth all things then was the name supreme proclaimed. And after everything is gone, yet One alone, awesome, will reign. God was, and is, and will remain, in splendid balance, over all. And God is One, no second is, none can compare, or share God’s place. Without beginning, without end, God’s is all might and royal grace. This is my God, my help who lives, refuge from pain in time of trial, my banner, and my place to fly, my cup’s portion when, dry, I cry. To God’s kind hand I pledge my soul each time I sleep, again to wake, and with my soul, this body, here. Adonai’s love is mine; I shall not fear.
