We welcome Shabbat, Kabbalat Shabbat with a series of Psalms beginning with Psalm 95.  Rabbi Rayzel Raphael takes the words, L’khu n’ran’nah, and shares, Rock to the Rockin Joy.

Enjoy and Shabbat Shalom.

Shabbat Shalom

Nefesh Mountain sings I lift my eyes to the mountain, Esa Enai.  It seems like a good musical introduction to the Shabbat before Shavuot.

Wishing everyone Shabbat Shalom and Chag Shavuot Sameach as we are about to celebrate the gift of Torah.

Debbie Friedman brought a whole new style of joy and love into Jewish liturgy.

Her music continues to inspire us.  This rendition of Ahavat Olam, the prayer leading to the Shema, is a timeless reminder of her gifts as we prepare for Shabbat.

Ein Od

A beautiful composition by Yosef Goldman performed at Germantown Jewish Center to help create the mood for Shabbat.  The lyrics, based on our texts and prayer, understand that there is no other but God.  Ein Od.

Shabbat Shalom.

Chag Urim Sameach

I usually post music to help welcome Shabbat.  But today, halfway through Hanukah, I could  not resist sharing the incomparable Cantor Azi Schwartz’s Hanukah medley.  Enjoy and Chag Sameach!
