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

Passover 613 style
and 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.
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!
It is the second night of Hannukah and Shabbat. These two holidays coincide this year (yes, they coincide EVERY year- Hannukah is an eight-day holiday after all.) I share this fun song from Six-13, Feliz Chanukah, as a way to lighten and brighten Shabbat and the second night.
(How do you transliterate חנכה?)
Chag Urim Sameach and Shabbat Shalom
I live between the Holy and Profane
a moving song that describes the space we find ourselves A song that helps us understand the need for the sacred protective space that is Shabbat.
Shabbat Shalom.

In a time of Pandemic, how do we surround ourselves with guests and Lashev BaSukkah?
