KINDLE THE SABBATH LIGHTS As earthly time moves on to the second month of the Gregorian calendar year, we remember how the Creator instructed the Israelites to reckon time: For the day it is the visual setting and rising of the sun, from sundown to sundown. For the week there is no visual reminder except for the […]

[The ‘musical Sabbath’ . . . all it means is that instead of reciting prayers, we sing!  As we’ve repeatedly explained, from our Christian roots we have learned to love ImageChristian hymnody but since the lyrics no longer express our new-found faith, we have superimposed our lyrics which are more faithful to the Sinaite’s Creed […]

KINDLE THE SABBATH LIGHTS      O YHWH, Primal LIGHT, on the first days of Creation, You illuminated a darkened universe,  planetary systems, galaxies galore— before the sun came ‘to be’ on day four.   All came to be simply by Your command: “Let there BE . . .” “Let there be light and there was light.”   Those words […]

[It has become traditional for Sinaites to add variation to our Sabbath celebration by singing our liturgy every other Shabbat.   As we have repeatedly explained, our worship music foundation comes from our Christian roots and so we merely borrow the music but revise the lyrics according to our Sinaite creed.  We are indebted to Christian […]

[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 […]

KINDLE THE SABBATH LIGHTS   Lord YHWH,  Eternal God with no beginning and no end, Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou [art] God.   For a thousand years in thy sight [are but] as yesterday when it is past, […]

[The Jewish celebration of Hanukkah falls on different times, just like the Christian celebration of Christmas. This year 2018 in the Gregorian calendar, 5779 in the Jewish calendar, Hanukkah starts at sundown of Sunday, December 02, the beginning of the Jewish ‘day’,  and ends on the evening of Monday, December 10, 2018.  We are not Jews […]

KINDLE THE SABBATH LIGHTS   As sundown is once again upon our earth,  signalling the beginning of Your 7th Day, our anticipated Day of Rest, our Shabbat —- As  earthly time continues to march on, moving from season to season, according to Your natural design in forecast-able weather patterns and predictable climate changes– We reflect […]

Kindle the Sabbath Lights   Oh YHWH, God of Israel, We bless You for blessing the nations with knowledge of You and Your Torah, the true Revelation that Israel was privileged to be given as part of its Covenant with You on Sinai.       We bless Israel for sharing with the nations, the […]

The CREATOR Kindles His Sabbath Lights! Blessed are You, YHWH, Eternal God, Who was and is and will be as You choose to be– God of Israel,  God of All Humanity, Gentiles of the Nations, God of Sinaites. Blessed are You, YHWH, All-Existent-One  Who has no beginning and no end, Whose Wisdom designed earthly time and heavenly space, which you […]
