    Dror Yikra, Proclaim Freedom, is a part of our Shabbat tradition. A poem written in Arabic by Dunas ben Labrat, a Sephardic Jew who lived in the 10th Century, it is brought to the Shabbat table by the extraordinary Maccabeats.

    Rav Kook, considered the father of religious Zionism, penned this poem Ben Adam, Son of Man:

    Son of Man rise up For you have great strength
    You have wings of spirit the wings of great eagles
    Don’t deny them lest they deny you
    Claim them Son of Man and they shall be immediately found

    As we enter this Shabbat, the last of the year 2018, I share Craig Taubman’s Hashkiveinu.

    This prayer as part of the evening service asks for Divine protection from the darkness. May God’s shelter of peace bring us safety and peace.

    The incomparable Hazzan Azi Schwartz of Park Avenue Synagogue shares Adon Olam as you’ve not heard. He sang this at the conclusion of a Bat Mitzvah, but it is a wonderful welcome to Shabbat this week.
