    Kalania- from a live event.

    Some music to help us prepare for Shabbat.

    I am praying for an end to hostilities and for the safety of all the people.

  • A Prayer for Peace for Shabbat

    May the Almighty grant the leadership of all communities the wisdom to navigate the complex and challenging space they inhabit. Threats of annihilation and destruction must yield to peace for all who inhabit the region.

    We pray for the safety of the people who have suffered at the hands of hatred and violence. And hope that a new day will dawn when all will live in peace.

    I Have a Voice by Elana Arian is a message we need to embrace, particularly in these turbulent times.

    Let’s listen to the next generation and the belief in their power.

    We approach Shabbat with heavy hearts, mourning the loss of two young people, Sarah and Yaron.

    Sophie Milman performs Eli, Eli, the poem of Hannah Senesh.  May we find peace this Shabbat, for us and everyone.

    The Shvesters bring their talents to ‘Eli, Eli’ Hannah Szenes’ poem written in 1942.

    As we, too, struggle with the pain of war, we reach out in prayer, hoping for peace and an end to the suffering.  May it come soon.

    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!

    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.
