This Shabbat, George Harrison’s epic song, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, played by legends, friends, and his son during the Concert for George, resonated with me after another difficult day.
I hope you enjoy this music and Shabbat.

Nefesh Mountain sings I lift my eyes to the mountain, Esa Enai. It seems like a good musical introduction to the Shabbat before Shavuot.
Wishing everyone Shabbat Shalom and Chag Shavuot Sameach as we are about to celebrate the gift of Torah.

Paul McCartney wrote Blackbird as a tribute to the civil rights struggle in the United States. It is a song that needs to be sung now for all seeking freedom. The incomparable Jon Batiste performs this rendition.

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.
