The Adon Olam is a very common closing at Jewish Shabbot services, and it’s recited for night prayers as well.

But it’s never sounded like this.

May I share, during the bat mitzvah celebration of a New York girl, the Adon Olam, [sung to a slightly different tune.](http://www.kveller.com/the-adon-olam-to-the-tune-of-a-hamilton-song-is-here-its-amazing/)

Adon olom is a blast because you can sing it to all different tunes (we used to do Rock Around the Clock). This version is really cool and the cantor has a great voice. My daughter shared this on FB and one of her friends knows the girl and her family.
