  • Shabbat Shalom, L’Shana Tova

     

    Wishing you Shabbat Shalom and a wish for a happy, healthy New Year.

    Hazzan Azi Schwarts offers Pieta Signore, deeply moving music for this Shabbat before Rosh HaShanah.

    L’Shana Tova u’Metuka.

  • L’Shanah Tova-5782

  • Shabbat Shalom

    The Ma’ayan Band performs Eli,Eli.

    This song is the poetry of Hannah Szenes, a prayer, and a beautiful way to welcome Shabbat.

  • Shabbat Shalom

    As we welcome Shabbat we are also about to enter the three week period leading to Tisha B’Av, marking tragedies of our people including the destruction of the Temple.  Playing for Change performs By The Rivers of Babylon- a timely message this Shabbat.

    Shabbat Shalom

    Shabbat Shalom

    We greet Shabbat with the poetry of Shlomo Alkabez’s Lecha Dodi.  Moshav shares their wonderful rendition making you want to rise up, dance and clap.

    Shabbat Shalom!

    We share Al HaNissim for Purim (and Channukah too!) acknowledging with gratitude the miracles we’ve experienced.  Thanks to Six13 for this great music.

    Wishing everyone safety and health this Purim and Shabbat, and may all of us receive the blessings of a vaccination soon!

    Shabbat Shalom!

    Ein Od

    A beautiful composition by Yosef Goldman performed at Germantown Jewish Center to help create the mood for Shabbat.  The lyrics, based on our texts and prayer, understand that there is no other but God.  Ein Od.

    Shabbat Shalom.

  • Chag Urim Sameach

    I usually post music to help welcome Shabbat.  But today, halfway through Hanukah, I could  not resist sharing the incomparable Cantor Azi Schwartz’s Hanukah medley.  Enjoy and Chag Sameach!
