  • Shabbat Shalom

    We welcome Shabbat with the song Shalom Aleichem, May Peace be upon you.

    It is a message brought by the Angels of the Divine and a way for us to greet each other.

    May this Shabbat be one of peace.

  • Shabbat Shalom – May Peace be upon us

     

    We welcome Shabbat with the song Shalom Aleichem, May Peace be upon you.  When greeted this way, our response is Aleichem Shalom, And May Peace be upon you.  The wish for peace unites all people of goodwill, and May it become our reality soon.   This rendition by the Ma’ayan Band is a beautiful and pensive way to experience this song and feeling.

    This Shabbat coincides with Veteran’s Day.

    Shalom Aleichem seems a particularly appropriate prayer. The Barcelona Gipsy Klezmer Orchestra combines several influences from their home in Spain and Ashkenaz.  May the music lift our hearts to welcome Shabbat.

    Wishing everyone Shabbat Shalom

    Shalom Aleichem- Peace be with you, our traditional liturgical greeting of Shabbat dating back to the mystics of Tzfat (Safed) from the 16th or 17th century.

    The story goes that two angels accompanied us on our way back home from the synagogue for Shabbat Dinner on Friday night.  If the home was ready for Shabbat, the good angel blessed that next Shabbat it should also be so, and the bad angel would respond “Amen”.  If the house was not ready for Shabbat, the roles were reversed.

    Peace upon you, ministering angels, messengers of the Most High,                                      of the Supreme King of Kings, the Holy One, blessed be He.
    Come in peace, messengers of peace, messengers of the Most High,                                     of the Supreme King of Kings, the Holy One, blessed be He.
    Bless me with peace, messengers of peace, messengers of the Most High,                           of the Supreme King of Kings, the Holy One, blessed be He.
    May your departure be in peace, messengers of peace, messengers of the Most High,       of the Supreme King of Kings, the Holy One, blessed be He.
