KINDLE THE SABBATH LIGHTS    Blessed are You, YHWH, our God, Who commanded us to cease from our strivings and rest on Your set-apart seventh day.   Following the erev tradition of Your chosen people, we kindle these lights on Your Sabbath, and symbolically invite the light of Your Torah into the vision of our mind, […]

KINDLE THE SABBATH LIGHTS   From the heart of the Creator Who shows His love for humankind by preparing a universe– a perfect environment  to sustain all forms of life; What better message and best proof of Divine LOVE could humanity expect than His Created world which, in His Divine providence, He designed not only as […]

[February being ‘heart month’, it is fitting to devote this 2nd Sabbath of the month to love for God and fellowman.  How  best to express it?  In song of course; and so, another musical celebration of the Queen of Days.

[If you haven’t yet entered “The Sabbath World”, this is as good a start as any. It has been called “a sanctuary in time” by Abraham Joshua Heschel and rightly so.  It is a dimension in time that the Lord of the Sabbath, YHWH, the Creator Himself set apart to rest from His creative work […]
