Shabbat Shalom

The tension between generations continues.  It was embodied in this Cat Stevens /Yusef Islam music, Father & Son, that resonated so deeply for me them and now.

“There is a better place, a promised land…There is no way we get from here to there  except by joining hands, marching together.” (Mishkan Tefillah, p.39)

This stunning rendition of Batya Levine’s “We Rise” comes to us through the artistry of Cantor Harold Messinger, of Beth Am Israel Penn Valley, in collaboration with the talented  James Pollard Jr., of Zion Baptist Church of Ardmore.

This Juneteenth, we commemorate and wish Shabbat Shalom!
