Tzviki Rand has unveiled a moving new rendition of the song 'Amra Shabbat' in collaboration with singers Shuki Goldstein and Hershi Segal. This release is part of Rand's ongoing project 'Noam HaNeshamot,' which aims to deepen the spiritual connection to Shabbat through music. The song features a melody composed by Rabbi Chizki Weiss, arranged and produced by Avi Reimi and Yair Bodner, who crafted a rich soundscape blending tradition with contemporary elements.

The lyrics reflect the famous Midrashic dialogue between Shabbat and God, where Shabbat requests a partner, and God replies that the people of Israel will be her partner, emphasizing the sacred bond between Israel and the Sabbath. Rand and his collaborators bring a layered vocal harmony that enhances the song's spiritual message and musical depth.

This single is designed to inspire listeners to pause from their busy lives and connect with the holiness of Shabbat, especially as the day approaches. The song is now available on all digital platforms, accompanied by a visually striking music video that complements the uplifting musical experience. 'Amra Shabbat' continues the tradition of Rand's project, which focuses on songs that celebrate Shabbat and Jewish holidays with high musical quality and profound spiritual meaning.
