Hi All,
Yes, another week is over and another Shabbat dawns. There is much to pray for this week for the Jewish community & without :
- Diaspora Jews, especially our brothers and sisters in France, Germany, Morocco and Turkey. Dare I say Britain as well?
- Our brothers and sisters in Israel
- The brave young men and women of the IDF
- The war in Gaza
- Those who have died on all sides
- The victims of flight MH17
- The many unknown tradegies that aflict this world, but are not reported in the news or go unreported.
- The hopes, fears, personal stresses and worries that we all have, which may seem small to the world, but are important to us and also to Hashem.
As usual this is a time for people to put their own prayers, thoughts, discussions on Torah & whatever else they wish to share.
May Hashem bless us all.
Finally a song (I've put a video in the comments thread) :
Ani ma'amin,
Be'emuna shelema
Beviat hamashiach ani ma'amin
Beviat hamashiach, ma'amin
Beviat hamashiach ani ma'amin
Beviat hamashiach, ma'amin
Veaf al pi sheyitmahmeha
Im kol zeh, achake loh
Veaf al pi sheyitmahmeha
Im kol zeh, achake loh
Im kol zeh, im kol zeh, achake loh
Achake bechol yom sheyavoh
Im kol zeh, im kol zeh, achake loh
Achake bechol yom sheyavoh
(sof)
Ani ma'amin
I believe with complete faith
In the coming of the Messiah,
I believe
I believe in the coming of the Messiah
In the coming of the Messiah, I believe
Believe in the coming of the Messiah
And even though he may tarry
Nonetheless I will wait for him
And even though he may tarry
Nonetheless I will wait for him
Nonetheless, I will wait for him
I will wait every day for him to come
Nonetheless, I will wait for him
I will wait every day for him to come
(Ending)
I believe
