Shake Off the Dust... Arise is the first album by Matisyahu, was released on October 28, 2004, by JDub Records. It fell out of print following his move to Epic Records and remained a collector's item until it was remastered and reissued in October 2010, temporarily sold exclusively through his official website.[3]
The album's name comes from the Hebrew liturgical poem "Lekhah Dodi" which is sung by most Jewish denominations in order to welcome the holy Sabbath, which in the poem is referred to as a bride.
