Shabbat Shalom- Kaddish led the Kirtan Rabbi

Kaddish led by the amazing Rabbi Andrew Hahn, the Kirtan Rabbi.

Shabbat Shalom

 

Kaddish is a doxology,  a praise of God.  It has become a central part of Jewish liturgy appearing in various versions within our services to mark special places along the way.  The most common form of Kaddish is Kaddish Yatom, the mourners Kaddish, shared in a congregation (minyan) by those in mourning.

We close our central prayer, the Amidah, with the hope that we are heard with a sincere heart. The extraordinary Josh Nelson set this beautiful offering to upbeat energetic music.  This is a great thought to guide us through Shabbat.

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, God,

my Rock and my Redeemer.

Shabbat Shalom.

It’s your World Now

This week we lost Glenn Frey, a remarkable artist and musician.  This song from the Eagles’ album Long Road Out of Eden is a lovely tribute and a guiding thought for us this Shabbat.  Glenn reminds us that  we leave the world to our children.  What shall we leave behind as our legacy?

Shabbat Shalom~
