According to traditional Jewish theology, Shabbat ushers in a small taste of Olam Haba (the World to Come in the Messianic Age). Elijah The Prophet is said to be the harbinger of that Age, and thus we invoke his presence to be with us during Havdalah (the ceremony that separates Shabbat from the beginning of the work week). Here, Richards presents a lovely arrangement of this famous folktune that is perfect for high school or adult volunteer choir.
