[ Back in  year 2014, after much study and discussion of  the seven “My feasts” commanded in Leviticus 23,  Sinaites arrived at an understanding of which of the feasts apply to non-Israelites, that is, Gentiles like ourselves.  While all of the seven are in Israel’s national experience and historical roots, three of them are in the […]

KINDLE THE SABBATH LIGHTS   O Source of Light, YHWH our God– Before You created the heavenly lights, the sun, moon and stars, Your LIGHT shone in the dark emptiness of space.

KINDLE THE SABBATH LIGHTS O CREATOR of LIGHT, in the meaningful family tradition of Your chosen people, the matriarch of the family kindles the Sabbath lights and recites the blessing:   Blessed art Thou, O LORD [YHWH], our God,  King of the Universe, Who hast sanctified us by Thy commandments  and hast commanded us to “kindle  the […]

[The Sinaite’s’ musical liturgy  borrows music from Christian hymnody but our lyrics revision reflect our Sinaite creed.   Imitation is the best compliment;   so we salute the composers  of Christian hymns;    no doubt they were inspired by the God they love and serve,  just as we are inspired by the God we have chosen to follow, to serve and to worship: His Name is YHWH.

[A ‘musical Sabbath’ — as we have often explained, our hymn background comes from our former Christian worship tradition; we have committed to memory music and lyrics.  However, our beliefs are no longer in sync with the lyrics so we have taken the liberty of revising them, but still adapting their music.  For those familiar with […]

 [Sinaites embrace the prayer traditions of all nations and all peoples who believe that there is a Creator-God because His Presence and His Handiwork, they experience in the universe and in witnessing the ‘good’ in humanity.  We believe that YHWH, the One True God, knows who are the true seekers; many are on the way and […]

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 […]
