Shabbos Breishis – Yakov Shlomo Gross

I am delighted to present to you today a beloved classic that holds a special place in my heart and in
the hearts of many others. This song is a staple at numerous Rebbishe Hoifen, especially in the
Bobover Hoif and is known by it’s title ‘Melech Rachmon/Shabbos Breishis’, Chassidim recount that
this song has its origins with the Ropschitzer Ruv before the war.
As an introduction to the medley, I began with the famed tune originally composed by the Heilige
Rivnitzer Rebbe and to add flavor I’m honored to include another special tune that I had the privilege
of hearing at the ‘Shabbos Breishis Tisch’ in ‘Niklesburg.’ The Rebbe there is known for his heartfelt
compositions and songs that have a profound impact on the souls of many Yidden.
I’m also taking this opportunity to appreciate the work ‘Avrumi Berko’ has done with arranging and
producing this medley, ‘Avrumi’ truly took this song to new heights – thank you for that.
