Shabbat Shalom

 

 

 

Romemu in New York shares a wonderful Kabbalat Service in which they sing Higaleh Nah, a stanza from the poem Yedid Nefesh:

Reveal Yourself, beloved, and spread over me the tabernacle of your peace.

Let the earth shine with your glory, let us be overjoyed and rejoice in You.

Hurry, beloved, for the appointed time has come, and be gracious to me as in the times of old.

Shabbat Shalom

A Shabbat of Peace and Healing

As we welcome Shabbat, this past week we remember the six million lost in the Shoah on Yom HaShoah.  Our prayers are with them, they are not forgotten.  To those who survived, to those on the March of the Living (including my wife Naomi), to all of us irrevocably changed, may this Shabbat bring healing and peace.

Kol Zimrah sings Cantor Leon  Sher’s, Please Heal us now, El nah refanah lah, taken from Moses’ appeal to God (Numbers 12:13) to heal his sister Miriam.

Shabbat Shalom

Shabbat Shalom

A difficult week is drawing to a close.  Shabbat is almost upon us.  May this be a time to find peace within as well as peace in a troubled world, and may this music offer a bridge.

The final stanza from Adon Olam, performed by Craig Taubman is offered this Shabbat.   Wishing everyone Shabbat Shalom.
