Johnny Mathis recorded Kol Nidre in 1958, at the young age of 20. The silken-voice singer was captivated by the cantorial music he heard in the synagogues of his #Jewish friends.

To those fasting, may it be easy.

It is not a mystery. Shabbat at its essence is about finding Rest Refreshment and Pleasure. Like a spring that needs to recoil before bouncing back, Shabbat gives us that time & space to relax,let go,live in the moment. May you find rest May you find balance May you find peace.

The shofar is blown daily during Elul to “wake” us up to self-reflection & prepare us for the HHDs.
While we are charged with relentless self-examination during Elul, it occurs within a relationship that is thoroughly grounded in love and compassion.

As the sun begins to set,
Breathe in the glow of the sunset, and pause,
Breathe out the stresses of the week,
Breathe in the calm of nightfall, and pause,
Breathe out and feel a sense of release,
Breathe.in.Shalom.

We are showered with gifts: mystery, beauty, ideas, art, music, literature, language, nature, humor, family, friends, love. In the Talmud, the Rav says, "I give thanks that I am able to give thanks." Gratitude is our heart payment for uncountable blessings.
