Welcoming the Shabbat In the Month of Tevet 2
15th of Tevet 5770
Candle Lighting / Zelda
To light candles in all of the worlds –
is Shabbat.
To light Shabbat candles
is a leap of a soul filled with secrets
to a wonderful mysterious sea
of the sunset fire.
When I kindle the lights
my room turns into the River Dinor,
My heart sinks in cascades of emeralds.
Deserted Area
Lyrics: Eli Mohar
Music: Alon Nadal and Yoni Rechter
And outside the sky is covered with clouds
And the wind passes between the sea and the houses
And the sun sets and no light turns on
And the room is filled with darkness
And I sit quietly alone without moving
Since childhood this hour arrives with pain
Since no day and no night is space with no owner
and the heart refuses to be released
Oh – I wish you were here with me
No – she is gone and will never come back.
And time that passed since – as if it never passed
The same branch waves across me out of the window
A date changes but the same Autumn remains outside
And for a moment the 'then' is the 'now'.
Oh – I wish you were here with me
No – she is gone and will never come back.
Oh – I wish you were here with me
No – she is gone and will never come back.
And outdoors the sky is already dark and strict
And in the evening lights are lit in the rooms
And I, who have become fatigued turn on the light here
and get rid of the darkness – and go.
Kiddush Over Wine
Let us look at the wine and its color,
Let us smell its scent,
He Who Makes Peace
He who makes peace in his high places
Shall make peace over us
And on all of Israel
And say, and say Amen.
Until the Next Delight/Lyrics and Music: Inbal Perlmutter
Once again, a blissful time in my life,
Gushing waters wash my senses.
I am drawn, and turn into
a dark animal, a wet monster,
a night elf, a good fairy,
sweet and stomping, shutting the light,
and proceeding to flow –
Until the next delight...
And when a storm arrives, when my bad temper attacks me,
I open my window and, I ride with strides to the heavens.
And when I get there, I mock a thin strip of yellow light,
I won the game, I'm now deep in the water.
Until the next delight...
Blessing over the Challah
Shabbat Shalom!
