a meaningful sh'ma



Tonight the girls and I met up with Monika, and the other families and guests for Shabbat at SSWT. Rabbi Lydia Medwin led us in Friday night services. Her introduction to the sh'ma prayer was so beautiful; she spoke of the sh'ma as a breath of life. I took that breath (today in yoga and tonight in temple), for me, and Morgan and Sara and Monika. Another day down. Another first behind us. 
Quick run in the morning before having breakfast with Glenn's parents.
Deuteronomy 6:4-9
Hebrew   MIDI
Sh'ma Yis'ra'eil Adonai Eloheinu Adonai echad.
Hear, Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is One.
In an undertone:
Hebrew
Barukh sheim k'vod malkhuto l'olam va'ed.
Blessed be the Name of His glorious kingdom for ever and ever.
Hebrew
V'ahav'ta eit Adonai Elohekha b'khol l'vav'kha uv'khol naf'sh'kha uv'khol m'odekha.
And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.
