Shabbat Shalom

During Elul and into the High Holidays we share Psalm 27.  The most well-known phrase of the psalm, Achat Sha’alti, is sung here as a  meditation by Rabbi Andrew Hahn, the Kirtan Rabbi.

One thing I ask of the Eternal One 

Is to dwell in God’s house all the days of my life

To be in God’s presence and behold the Divine’s Holy Temple

Shabbat Shalom

Shabbat Shalom- Kaddish led the Kirtan Rabbi

Kaddish led by the amazing Rabbi Andrew Hahn, the Kirtan Rabbi.

Kaddish is a doxology,  a praise of God.  It has become a central part of Jewish liturgy appearing in various versions within our services to mark special places along the way.  The most common form of Kaddish is Kaddish Yatom, the mourners Kaddish, shared in a congregation (minyan) by those in mourning.
