Shabbat Shalom

Shabbat is not the same.  As we welcome the Shabbat Bride, too many of us feel the absence of loved ones lost in the carnage and war.

Idan Raichal, an extraordinary poet/singer/songwriter, shares this sad longing for those we only wish could “Return”

Wishing you Shabbat Shalom

 

The tired hours that don’t let time run

The heavy legs that find no reason to walk

The days and nights like the faces in the pictures

Everything stops when you’re not here

And waking up from a dream and feeling you close

Then calling you out of the night

Come back!  Come back today!

I so wanted you to come!

I wish you would come without announcing today

I am a tower of light.

From distances that will reappear

I wish you would come without announcing today.
