Shabbat 9-30-16 From Temple Israel Long Beach

It was really nice for my family to watch this service live together on our big screen television tonight....I figured out to cast it from my phone!  This modern world full of technology is great...

As usual, the music was wonderful and I felt I was there with the friends I've made at Temple Israel!

I stumbled on this song and like it!

 

The Sound That Cannot Be Seen - I think I figured out what it means!

A song that was sung at the beginning of the Shabbat HaNefesh service at Temple Israel last Friday, 9-23-16, called Nothing More, has been stuck in my head.  I've been trying to figure out what it means since I keep singing the song to myself and playing it on the piano.

The lyrics go like this:

NOTHING MORE

If there is any secret to this life I live...this is it...this is it

The sound that cannot be seen Sings within everything that can

And there is nothing more to it than that

There is nothing more to it than that

--------------------------------------
I get it ....finally...

The "sound that cannot be seen" is God's presence!  And...yes...God's presence does "sing within everything!"

How so very wonderful and yes, that quote is "the secret to my life!"

Nothing More

Cantor Sara Hass at Temple Israel sang this song at the beginning of the Shabbat HaNefesh service on 9-23-16. I really like it. It's by a Jewish musician named Dan Nichols.

 

Shabbat at the BEACH! So Very Cool! 7-29-16

What could be better than Shabbat at the Beach! It was SO AWESOME!

Hello God - By Craig Taubman

I love this song and it reminds me that God is there for me!

-------------------------------------------

Hello God are you out there 
Haven't spoken in a while 
I just wanted to say hello 

Hello God are you out there 
Haven't seen you in a while 
There are some things that I thought you should know

It's weird but you're often on my mind 
I've got lot's to tell you and even more to ask you 
So I hope God that you've got some time 

I'm not sure that you're out there 
 But I feel you inside 
 And it's something that's real nice to know 

Hello God are you out there Haven't seen you in a while 
There are some things that I thought you should know -

I'm watching the recorded version of this service from Temple Israel, Long Beach, California in Colorado right now! It's really cool to hear Cantor Sara Hass's voice in Colorado! Great music as always!
