Shabbat Shalom-One Day

One Day

Something amazing happened in Haifa a couple of years ago.  Three thousand people gathered to sing a song- Matisyahu’s song One Day.  Words in Hebrew, Arabic, and English combined into a single voice of love and hope.

Enjoy, Shabbat Shalom!

Shabbat Shalom – There is no Other

Rabbi Yosef Goldman brings the new music to the phrase Ein Od, No Other.  It is part of the Aleinu prayer we share at the conclusion of our service praying for the time when we all recognize the supremacy of the Eternal.
