Definition: The word "after-song" comes from the Greek words "afteros" (which means after) and "songos" (which means to sing). It's a term used in various religious contexts to describe a specific action or event that occurs between a first song and a subsequent one. In Jewish tradition, the phrase "after-song" often refers to the last performance of a rabbinical sermon. This typically takes place after the end of the first rabbinic service on a given day. The concept of "after-song" has been used historically by Jewish scholars as a metaphor for the preparation and fulfillment of a specific religious obligation, such as a sacrifice or an offering to God, and it has also been associated with the last singing of the last song in a church service.
