This song caught my heart today. Thanks to the Maccabeats for Minyan Man.
With so much divisiveness, it’s good to remember Kol Arevim Zeh laZeh, All Israel is responsible for one another. Each of us is important. Each of us can make a difference. Together, let’s welcome Shabbat and welcome God’s peace.
Shabbat Shalom

Nachamu, Nachamu Ami- Take Comfort, my People. These are the words of Isaiah (40:1) after the destruction of the Temple and the words of the Haftarah this week.
Shabbat Nachamu is the Shabbat that follows Tisha b’Av.
Enjoy the music of the Maccabeats as they set these beautiful words to music.
Shabbat Shalom.
This Shabbat is unique as it comes during our celebration of Hanukkah. The miracles and beauty of each are precious. As we sing and light candles (ten of them in total this evening, including the Shamash and the seven and the two for Shabbat), experience the joy and beauty found in the glowing flames. Remember the words we were taught, “Not by might, not by power, but by My Spirit.”
This particularly interesting moment in history is an important occasion to rededicate ourselves to our ideals and the values we profess.
Tonight as you watch the candles, hold someone in your heart or in your arms, and be grateful.
Experience Hanukkah and Shabbat together.
Below are a couple of more great tunes from two great a capella groups the Maccabeats and Six13.

Chag Urim Sameach!
