Shabbat Shalom

Bruce Springsteen’s Minneapolis is a battle cry for us to uphold the values we hold dear, the rule of law, the constitutional rights each of us is entitled to, and the dignity and respect for all people.

As we enter Shabbat, we pray for each other and vow to fight for our precious values.  We must be better than this.

The Shvesters share their rendition of a poignant Yiddish song Vi Iz Dus Gesele, Where is the little street? A song of longing, nostalgia, and lost love.

It is a way to help us perhaps enter this Shabbat.  Given the current turmoil, we seek a better time.  May we work to see that time come soon.

Wishing you Shabbat Shalom.

We share the prayer Shabbat Shalom,  A hope for peace and completeness.

U2’s I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For is a longing for that prayer to be fulfilled.

As we enter Shabbat, Playing For Change shares that yearning and the return of those who are not with them. And we include Ran Gvili.  We pray for peace and wholeness.

As we enter the last Shabbat of 2025, I share Auld Lang Syne, the famous song of this time of year, written by Scottish composer and poet Robert Burns.  It asks us to remember that our humanity and our kindness are expressed in our relationships with others.  As we move into the new year, resolve to love others, treat them with dignity, respect, and compassion. May we find ways to forgive others and ourselves.

Shabbat Shalom

As we welcome Shabbat, Chanukah is just beyond.  The Shabbat Candles of Friday will be followed by the first lights of Chanukah on Sunday eve.

Six13 shares a delightful medley blending Wicked music with great Chanukah lyrics.  Enjoy!

Lean into the light this season and experience the warmth and glow of our tradition.

Shabbat Shalom
