Yedid Nefesh

ידיד נפש

Frequently sung before Kabbalat Shabbat in modern orthodox synagogues, and during Seudat Shlishit in all Ashkenazi synagogues.

Kabbalat Shabbat Version


Based on Niggun LeShabbat Kodesh, originally a Chabad tune re-introduced by Rabbi Moshe-Zvi Neria, a student of Rav Kook. I'm not sure who decided to set Yedid Nefesh to this niggun.


Seudat Shlishit Version

Composed by Yitzchak Alster at Yeshivas Chaim Berlin no later than 1960. The Noam Singers cover has lots of harmony.

  

Aish Version

Abie Rotenberg and Shlomo Simcha. And an a cappella cover by Lev Tahor.

 

D'veykus II

Composed by Baruch Menzelefsky


Zweig version

Composed by Ehud and Sarah Zweig.

 

Cover by Edna Lev.
