Halfon Family: A Cappella Eishet Chayil

This impressive home video features the Halfon family singing a harmonic, a cappella rendition of Ben Zion Shekner’s famous melody for Eishet Chayil. The Halfon family, made up of Naomi, Valerie, Yael, Esther, Mordechai, and Daniel, are a talented family of singers who enjoy harmonizing around the Shabbat table. Many of the songs in their repertoire are of Spanish and Portuguese provenance. The father, Daniel Halfon, is the Emeritus Hazzan of the Yad Harav Nissim synagogue in Jerusalem and a leading authority of the cantorial style of the western Sephardim. In 2006, he was appointed by the President of the State of Israel as Hazzan of the Presidential Synagogue.
