As we welcome Shabbat, this past week we remember the six million lost in the Shoah on Yom HaShoah. Our prayers are with them, they are not forgotten. To those who survived, to those on the March of the Living (including my wife Naomi), to all of us irrevocably changed, may this Shabbat bring healing and peace.

Wishing everyone a zissen (sweet) Pesach holiday. A time of celebration and gratitude for who we are and all that we have. Let all who are hungry come and eat! Open up your tables and your hearts.

We close our central prayer, the Amidah, with the hope that we are heard with a sincere heart. The extraordinary Josh Nelson set this beautiful offering to upbeat energetic music. This is a great thought to guide us through Shabbat.

my Rock and my Redeemer.
