  • We are the world- Shabbat Shalom

     

    “We are the World” was originally performed in 1985 by Supergroup USA for Africa

    This past April, artists from across Long Island joined together to sing this song of hope again.

    Wishing you love and healing this Shabbat.

  • 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!

    We still believe that there is a better place, a promised land, and the way there is through the wilderness.  There is no way for us to get from here to there, except by joining hands, marching together. (Mishkan Tefillah, adapted)

    If you can, be at the rally in New York this Sunday to express solidarity as a first step toward achieving the values that are at the center of Judaism and America.  Together as the Jewish community of the United States with all others of goodwill, we will overcome forces of hatred and bigotry.  There is much work to be done and miles to go before we sleep.  Together we can get there.

    Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

    By Robert Frost

    Whose woods these are I think I know.
    His house is in the village though;
    He will not see me stopping here
    To watch his woods fill up with snow.

    My little horse must think it queer
    To stop without a farmhouse near
    Between the woods and frozen lake
    The darkest evening of the year.

    He gives his harness bells a shake
    To ask if there is some mistake.
    The only other sound’s the sweep
    Of easy wind and downy flake.

    The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
    But I have promises to keep,
    And miles to go before I sleep,
    And miles to go before I sleep.

    Shabbat Shalom
