On Saturday night, we blessed the new moon. This prayer comes from the new moon's blessing. Here's Avraham Fried with K'Sheim She'Ani Roked k'Negdeich (As I am dancing opposite you and cannot touch you, so too my enemies should not be able to touch me for evil).
I mentioned earlier that tonight was the night that we blessed the new moon here in Jerusalem. Here's Avraham Fried singing a line from the new moon blessing: K'Sheim She'Ani (As I dance before you and cannot touch you, so should my enemies not be able to touch me for evil).
I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.
