This Shabbat is Shabbat Nachamu, the Shabbat of Comfort, the Shabbat after Tisha B’Av. The name comes from the passage in Isaiah, (chapter 40), “Take comfort, comfort my people.”
Min HaMeitzar, From the narrow places, I called out to God, who answered me, And I am not afraid. These lines from Psalm 118 (5-6) sung so beautifully by Debra Sacks Mintz and the Hadar Ensemble can help us find the comfort of Shabbat at the week’s end.
Shabbat Shalom
