This was another difficult week. Terror and hatred scarred Tel Aviv leaving four innocent people dead and many others injured and victims. Our hearts and prayers reach out to those that suffer. We also pray for the day when people learn to live together in peace.
The piece I share is Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach singing Al Eyle Ani Bochyah – For these things I cry. Even through the tears, we hope for a new and better day.
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

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.

Wishing everyone a zissen (sweet) Pesach holiday. A time of celebration and gratitude for who we are and all that we have. Let all who are hungry come and eat! Open up your tables and your hearts.

Nachamu, Nachamu Ami. The words of Isaiah 40:1,2 form the basis for this song sung by the Maccabeats.
