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.

Shabbat Shalom

Marvin Gaye’s classic song is performed by Playing for Change bringing musicians from around the world together to make beautiful music together.  A wonderful framing for Shabbat.

Shabbat Shalom.

Shabbat Shalom

The penultimate stanza of Lecha Dodi asks you to carry the message of Adonai out into the world, literally to spread out to the right and to the left.  This beautiful welcome of Shabbat is a gift from Joey Weisenberg and the Hadar Ensemble, featuring the beautiful voice of Debra Sacks.

Shabbat Shalom

The Hashiveinu prayer reaches out for the comfort and safety from the night under the protective wing of the Shechinah.  A beautiful prayer and metaphor.

May we all find shelter and peace.

Shabbat Shalom.
