    “Tamid Ohev Oti”- Always Loves Me is a very popular song, covered by groups here like  Six13 to major performers in Israel.  Yair Elitzur’s original version is here.

    Its an uplifting song of hope, love, and faith. I’ve share the translation below, but enjoy the music as we welcome Shabbat.

    Shabbat Shalom

    Chorus
    God always loves me
    I’ll only be given blessings
    And things will be better
    Better and better. (5x)
    And it will only get better.

    We need to pause and take a breath.

    Let Shabbat give us time to breathe.

    There will be time to organize our thoughts, prepare, and respond to the reality of the elections. There is much to do.

    But for now, it is Shabbat.  Take the time to breathe.
