  • 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!

  • Shabbat Shalom – There is no Other

    Rabbi Yosef Goldman brings the new music to the phrase Ein Od, No Other.  It is part of the Aleinu prayer we share at the conclusion of our service praying for the time when we all recognize the supremacy of the Eternal.

    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)
