This stunning rendition of Batya Levine’s “We Rise” comes to us through the artistry of Cantor Harold Messinger, of Beth Am Israel Penn Valley, in collaboration with the talented James Pollard Jr., of Zion Baptist Church of Ardmore.
This Juneteenth, we commemorate and wish Shabbat Shalom!
Sing a New Song is Psalm 96 that we sing as part of the welcoming of Shabbat in our Kabbalat Shabbat Service every Friday evening.
At this time, we are staying apart to guard against spreading the Corona Virus. But we will emerge, hopefully using this time to reflect on who we are and what is truly important. We will be singing a new song!
Enjoy Moshav’s rendition of Carelbach’s tune to the special words of the poem that is Psalm 96.
Shabbat Shalom!
The whole world is a narrow bridge, but do not be afraid; you are not alone.
These are the immortal words of Reb Nachman of Bratslav. Rabbi Yosef Goldman put these words to new music creating an inspiring message, a beautiful way to welcome Shabbat.
Shabbat Shalom

I found this lovely rendition of the song Yonati from Central Synagogue recorded December 17, 2017.
A soulful song, Yonati, My dove is a beautiful way to welcome Shabbat. The English translation is below.
Shabbat Shalom.
Yonati
O, my dove, in the crevice of the rock,
Concealed by the mountain’s face,
Show me your countenance,
Let me hear your voice;
For your voice is pleasant,
And your countenance charming.
Each week I try to find a particular prayer to share as we enter Shabbat. I keep passing over this video of Kippalive- until now. This is Kabbalat Shabbat from Kippalive.Great acapella music to welcome Shabbat. It’s 9 well spent minutes. But if you want, you can go to the index on the left-hand side to go directly to a particular prayer or song.
Shabbat Shalom!

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~
Evoking the beauty of the Shabbat bride entering the room, my mind recalls those wondrous moments watching brides come down the aisle to the chuppah. Please take a few moments to enjoy this beautiful rendition of Lecha Dodi. Wishing everyone a Shabbat Shalom.
