Shabbat Shalom

The Shvesters bring Yiddish music alive as they sing “Tell Me Once Again.”  (For those of a certain vintage, you may remember the Barry Sisters version of this song.) It is a delightful, upbeat welcome to Shabbat.   I have posted a translation of the lyrics below the video.  The message is apropos for Shabbat on a couple of levels.  Enjoy!

Shabbat Shalom

#BringthemHome

I feel my heart now bursts

This day, from great joy

That at last I hear your  words I long for

Tell it to me again

My only love, sent from above

Tell it to me again.

As we continue our trek from Egypt to Sinai, to Redemption and the gift of Torah,

I am moved by ‘Redemption Song,’ knowing our story is sadly not ours alone and is still unfulfilled for too many.

Last night we gathered for Yom HaShoah, the second while our people remain prisoners, held hostage.

Wishing for Shabbat Shalom

at the Cusp of Shabbat and Pesach

Shabbat is approaching and Pesach follows immediately thereafter.  I am taking a moment from the preparations to share the beautiful rendition of Stand By Me.  It is a fitting prayer seeking Divine connection.  Enjoy Music Travel Love as they share their beautiful rendition.

Shabbat Shalom
