Welcoming Shabbat and a new year may we be blessed with health and love.
Although this isn’t a Kabbalat Shabbat song (we actually use a different prayer, Shalom Rav, in the evenings) the message is important- a hope for peace and a willingness to do our part in making it happen. Enjoy.
Shabbat Shalom and Happy New Year.
As we welcome Shabbat, this weekend will mark the start of Hannukah.
May the sacred lights brighten your soul.
! חג אורים שמח ושבת שלים
And enjoy this wonderful Hannukah medley from the extraordinary Six13:
Six13 ushers in Shabbat with this lovely song. You will want to watch it twice, once before Shabbat starts and once when the new week begins.
Shabbat Shalom!
Welcome Shabbat with Six13’s rendition of Lecha Dodi
Shabbat Shalom to everyone on this Tenth Day of the Omer!
Six13 helps bring in this Shabbat rocking the Shabbos Project- getting all of us to celebrate Shabbat.
Shabbat Shalom!
This Shabbat is unique as it comes during our celebration of Hanukkah. The miracles and beauty of each are precious. As we sing and light candles (ten of them in total this evening, including the Shamash and the seven and the two for Shabbat), experience the joy and beauty found in the glowing flames. Remember the words we were taught, “Not by might, not by power, but by My Spirit.”
This particularly interesting moment in history is an important occasion to rededicate ourselves to our ideals and the values we profess.
Tonight as you watch the candles, hold someone in your heart or in your arms, and be grateful.
Experience Hanukkah and Shabbat together.
Below are a couple of more great tunes from two great a capella groups the Maccabeats and Six13.
Chag Urim Sameach and Shabbat Shalom.
Whether you prefer Six13 or the Maccabeats, enjoy these tunes and celebrate Hanukkah!
Chag Urim Sameach!
This Shabbat, Shabbat Mevarchim, we celebrate and bless the start of the new month of Tevet, which starts next week. And at the end of Shabbat, the Havdalah candle will make way for the Hanukkah candles. The days are now getting longer. Light is entering from everywhere.
Leonard Cohen, z”l, wrote in his poem song, Anthem, “There is a crack in everything. That’s how the light gets in.” Although each of us has cracks, that gives each of us the chance to let the light in.
This Shabbat and this Hanukkah, embrace both joy and hope.
Enjoy this wonderful Hanukah music as Six13 and the Maccabeats go head to head.
Shabbat Shalom
A Hanukkah throwdown!
A wonderful upbeat tune from Six13 to welcome Shabbat.
Wishing all a Shabbat of Peace and rest~
