Shabbat Shalom

Usually, I share a single song performed by a wonderful artist to help bring in Shabbat.

But this Shabbat, Shabbat Bereishit, I am sharing the Kabbalat Shabbat service at the amazing B’nai Jeshurun, from June 1, 2018.  Listen as long as you like, the music is enchanting and moving.  If you’re ever in New York, stop in for an amazing experience with the folks at BJ.

As we welcome the first Shabbat after Yom Kippur, I wanted to share this wonderful rendition of Ana B’Choakh by Joey Weisenberg and the Hadar Ensemble.

This prayer is offered during Kabbalat Shabbat.  A favorite of the mystics, it’s power is said to lie beyond the words themselves and in the structure of the prayer where, as an acrostic, the 42 letter name of God is spelled out.

Wishing everyone a year of health and blessings

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
