OK People,
Thought I'd put up a cyber Shabbat table for this thread. If you want to share a word of Torah, a song, a discussion on the week's events, a poem, any personal word of encouragement, a request for prayer or anything else you'd like to talk about here is your space.
I have two poems to share, written by Judah ha-Levi, a Sephardi Rabbi, Philosopher and Poet of 12th century Sephard (Spain), which I find in spirit is closest to my Orthodox Judaism than anything that comes out of the Haredi leadership -
"Cups without wine are low things

"Cups without wine are low things
Like a pot thrown to the ground,
But brimming with the juice, they shine
Like body and soul."

"Awake, my fair, my love, awake,
So that I may gaze upon you!
And if one is eager to kiss your lips,
In your dreams this do you see,
Lo, then I myself of your dream
The interpreter will be."
Shabbat Shalom!
