  • Shabbat Shalom- concluding a difficult week

    We have lived through another horribly difficult week where hatred and violence scarred us deeply. With Shabbat let us find comfort and the strength to rise above these things and work for a time when we can live in safety and love, security and peace.

    Ufros Aleinu Sukkat Shlomekha, taken from the Hashkiveinu prayer, Spread over us Your Shelter of Peace.

    ופרש עלינו סכת שלומך Ufros Aleinu Sukkat Shlomecha
    Spread over us your canopy of peace

    ותקננו בעצה טובה מלפניך Vetaknenu B’aytza Tovah Milfanecha
    And repair us with good council before you

    והושיענו Vehoshiaynu
    And rescue us

    Shabbat Shalom

     

  • Shabbat Shalom

    This was another difficult week. Terror and hatred scarred Tel Aviv leaving four innocent people dead and many others injured and victims. Our hearts and prayers reach out to those that suffer. We also pray for the day when people learn to live together in peace.

    The piece I share is Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach singing Al Eyle Ani Bochyah – For these things I cry. Even through the tears, we hope for a new and better day.

    Romemu in New York shares a wonderful Kabbalat Service in which they sing Higaleh Nah, a stanza from the poem Yedid Nefesh:

    Reveal Yourself, beloved, and spread over me the tabernacle of your peace.

    Let the earth shine with your glory, let us be overjoyed and rejoice in You.

    Hurry, beloved, for the appointed time has come, and be gracious to me as in the times of old.

  • A Shabbat of Peace and Healing

    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.

    Kol Zimrah sings Cantor Leon  Sher’s, Please Heal us now, El nah refanah lah, taken from Moses’ appeal to God (Numbers 12:13) to heal his sister Miriam.

  • Shabbat Shalom- Nachamu Ami

     

    Nachamu, Nachamu Ami.  The words of Isaiah 40:1,2 form the basis for this song sung by the Maccabeats.

    Comfort, Comfort my people says your God.

    A beautiful thought to bring us into Shabbat.
