Eldred.
Who names their kid Eldred anymore, unless they want him to grow up to be a wizard? It's a pretty cool wizard name.
Anyway, Elder Eldred G. Smith goes on in his talk in April 1972 General Conference to talk about "Peace", and he mentions a song he learned on a trip to the Holy Land:
The Quote (lyrics from a song)
"Our guide on a recent tour in the Holy Land,
who is a Jordanian Arab and a Greek Orthodox Catholic by the name of Sari Rabadi,
taught us a little Arabian song:
“Havano, shalo, malechem,”
which translated means:
“We bring you peace.”
That set me on fire to see if I could find that song.
And I did. :-)
Hevenu Shalom Alechem.
It's such a simple, fun song. You'll be an expert in no time. Here's a simple traditional version, to bring some peace to you today:
And just for funsies, here's a contemporary, over-the-top flashmob version from Israel. Heaven knows we could use some smiles these days:
Hevenu Shalom Alechem - We bring you peace.
God brings me the greatest peace in this world. Where do you find peace?
