Rahel Jaskow's CD, "Day of Rest," consists mostly of songs for the Jewish Sabbath. Expertly recorded and mixed by fellow CD Baby artist Ray Scudero of Argaman Studios in Israel, Rahel's disc pioneers a new genre in Jewish music. Rahel has recorded nearly every song in multiple voices, without musical accompaniment, to give the effect of a small a-cappella choir. Rahel's clear, bell-like voice and harmonious vocal arrangements guide the listener to a quiet, tranquil place and make the spirit soar. Although the songs are mostly in Hebrew (except "Lullaby in C," which is sung both in English and in Rahel's Hebrew translation), their message is clear to speakers of any language: to take time to rest and refresh ourselves.

Story behind the song
This song is a traditional Hebrew prayer. I wanted to record it with this particular melody because of the potential for wonderful vocal harmonies.
Lyrics
You can find them on my website, www.geocities.com/raheljaskow. In summary: "Le-Hai Olamim" is a hymn of praise to God. The title means "To the One Who Lives Forever," and each line mentions two qualities that belong to the Divine, such as understanding and blessing, song and praise.
