Yaakov Shwekey: Tefilat Kallah – The Bride’s Prayer (English + Hebrew)

With onscreen Hebrew, English and transliterated lyrics, this video by the well-known Jewish musical entertainer, Yaakov Shwekey, presents an emotive rendition of an excerpt of the Bride’s Prayer, traditionally recited by the bride following the “bedeken” veiling ceremony, before walking down the aisle. This is considered an auspicious time for prayer, and the bride often takes the opportunity to pray for people who need healing and help of all kinds, as well as for the success of her marriage.
