Shabbat Shalom

The Hashkiveinu prayer asks that we are sheltered under Shechinah’s protective wing, so we might find peace to protect us through the night.

At the end of this week, this prayer seems particularly apropos.

May we find a safe harbor from the storm that has been this tumultuous week so that we do not fear the darkness or the unknown.  Let us find strength and comfort under God’s protective wing and with each other.

Shabbat Shalom

I offer Craig Taubman’s rendition of Haskiveinu to set the mood and help us connect:

Shabbat Shalom

A difficult week is drawing to a close.  Shabbat is almost upon us.  May this be a time to find peace within as well as peace in a troubled world, and may this music offer a bridge.

The final stanza from Adon Olam, performed by Craig Taubman is offered this Shabbat.   Wishing everyone Shabbat Shalom.
