Shabbat Shalom

The close of Kaddish is Oseh Shalom.  Elan Jagoda leads the Songleader Boot Camp community in this beautiful melody.

“May the One who brings peace on High bring peace to us all.”

On this Shabbat, may all those in need of comfort find peace.

Haskiveinu is often thought of like a lullaby, cradling us in the love of the Almighty as we enter the night and its sleep.

May this Shabbat be one of rest and peace.  Shabbat Shalom.
