As we continue our trek from Egypt to Sinai, to Redemption and the gift of Torah,
I am moved by ‘Redemption Song,’ knowing our story is sadly not ours alone and is still unfulfilled for too many.
Last night we gathered for Yom HaShoah, the second while our people remain prisoners, held hostage.
Wishing for Shabbat Shalom

The traveler’s prayer is shared as we embark on a journey hoping:
May it be Your will that You should lead us in peace and direct our steps in peace, and guide us in peace, and support us in peace, and cause us to reach our destination in life, joy, and peace.
This Shabbat lets pray that our journey might be so and that our destination itself is Peace.

Naomi Shemer penned this anthem, expressing our longing for the sacredness of Jerusalem. Rabbi Angela Buchdal and Cantor Dan Mutlu share their extraordinary voices to sing Yerushalim Shel Zahav.
May the sacredness and promise of Jerusalem live, peace come to the region, and our hostages are returned home.
Shabbat Shalom
Playing for Change brings musicians from around the world together to perform songs of unity, peace, and love. Amazing Grace is not usually on the Kabbalat Shabbat Playlist for most of us, but if you watch and listen, the singers in Jerusalem and the lyrics convey hope and faith, which is what we need as we enter Shabbat.
Shabbat Shalom
Even in our deepest grief, we pray for peace. The Jerusalem Youth Chorus sings of the shared pain.
Shabbat Shalom
