Al HaNissim 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!

Chazzan Azi Schwartz sings Mi Khamokha as we welcome Shabbat.

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.

Shabbat Shalom

I share the wonderful rendition of Amazing Grace performed by Garth Brooks at the Inauguration.

This beautiful song is for all of us. There was a time when Jews avoided this piece because of historic frictions. But if we are brave enough, we can embrace the power, beauty, and majesty of the music as we march forward with all our brothers and sisters in love.

Shabbat Shalom

Laeli shares a modern approach to a familiar song, Oseh Shalom.

As we are about to enter Shabbat, wishing you Shabbat peace.

Shabbat Shalom

Welcoming Shabbat and a new year may we be blessed with health and love.

Although this isn’t a Kabbalat Shabbat song (we actually use a different prayer, Shalom Rav, in the evenings) the message is important- a hope for peace and a willingness to do our part in making it happen. Enjoy.

Shabbat Shalom and Happy New Year.
