Ha Lachma Anya
The bread of the Poor
Buses unloaded their precious cargo at the intake center, women and children from Lviv and Kyiv. Bewildered, they started the process of finding refuge after escaping terror but leaving husbands and fathers behind to fight for Ukraine. We reached across the language barrier and handed the children lollipops. Like our children, they delighted in this unexpected treat. The smiles and laughter strengthened moms, and together they tentatively walked forward toward the refugee center (I cannot show faces to protect the identities of families left behind).
This is the poor person’s bread- a bread of hope and compassion. HaLachma Anya is the simple but profound gesture of giving something to those who have less, even when we do not have much to share. Together, we are one step closer to redemption.
This prayer has always moved me and seems to be deep in my heart this Shabbat.
But the power resides in us. Wishing everyone Shabbat Shalom.

Or Zarua LaTzaddik
These lines from Psalm 97 are part of Kabbalat Shabbat and sung here by Nava Tehila.
Light is sown for the righteous- The poet of the psalm suggests that God’s creation anticipates a world of righteousness. The seed is already implanted, ready to sprout and grow.
Shabbat Shalom!
As we welcome Shabbat, the need for love, unity, and hope is greater than ever.
The USA Africa song We Are The World is the clarion call that still resonates.
