With his single “Mizrahi–Ethiopian Jewish Praise,” released on September 8, 2025, Dr. Rabbi-Cohen Shalomim HaLahawi, better known by his artist name Adon-Rabi Shalomim, ushers in something that feels both ancient and groundbreaking. It’s worship, but it’s also cultural preservation, prophetic storytelling, and genre-blending artistry that bridges faith traditions.

The track weaves Mizrahi and Ethiopian Jewish melodies with the modern textures of R&B, pop, and rock, creating a soundscape that feels at once sacred and contemporary. The blend of Hebrew and English in the lyrics deepens the universality of the message: a prayer of mercy, restoration, and gathering of scattered people. Phrases like “Yahuach, hear us, hear us, act now, Lord” ring like communal petitions, echoing across cultures and creeds.
Lyrically, the song pulls from themes of exile, longing, and redemption, drawing heavily on prophetic traditions. The chorus, layered with repetition, is almost chant-like, inviting listeners into participation. Even if one doesn’t share the same liturgical background, the emotion is undeniable, it’s a cry for healing, mercy, and divine action that transcends borders.

Musically, the song thrives in its fusion approach. The warmth of Eastern scales, rhythmic cadences that nod to Ethiopian praise, and the pulse of contemporary R&B instrumentation create a unique experience.
What makes this release particularly striking is the intentional inclusivity. While rooted in Jewish praise, the references to God as Yahuach and Allah broaden the scope, making this track approachable for Jews, Christians, and Muslims alike. Adon-Rabi Shalomim isn’t just making music, he’s crafting a bridge between traditions, showing how worship can be prophetic, healing, and unifying.
