Let's go to the videotape. More after the videotape.

Saturday night is the holiday of Shavuoth and because Shavuoth immediately follows the Sabbath, I will be offline from sundown on Friday until after sundown on Sunday (only one day of holiday here in Israel). Shabbat Shalom and Chag Sameyach to all.
The Torah portion this week talks about the Revelation at Sinai. The children of Israel encamped 'as one person with one heart.' Here's Shloime Dachs singing about it - K'ish echad b'lev echad.
After having posts today about Jewish unity, on the one hand, and baseless hatred, on the other, let's talk a bit about Mashiach (the Messiah). Here are Shloime Dachs and his son Dovid singing Anovim.

This evening, I had major car problems, and then had to go to a wedding out of the city. I'm also retiring early for the evening - this is being set up hours in advance.
Here's the Shloime Dachs band playing some oldies, the first of which is Avraham Fried's Hithyatzvu U'ru, which is appropriate because it comes from the lead-up to Shirath HaYam (the Song of the Sea), which we will read on Monday in synagogue.
Let's go to the videotape.
Chag Sameyach everyone, and God willing I will be back on Monday night because there is only one day of holiday in Israel.
This Sabbath, we read in the Haftorah from the book of Ezekiel regarding the prophecy of the dry bones, which bones Ezekiel brings back to life. This Haftorah hints at the Messiah, a recurring theme during the Pesach holiday.
Here's Shloime Dachs and his son Dovid singing Anovim Anovim (Modest ones, modest ones), which describes what will happen when the Messiah comes.
Let's go to the videotape.
Shabbat Shalom u'Moadim l'Simcha. I'll be back tomorrow night God willing.
Okay, it's wedding season again for the next two and a half weeks or so. I've been to four in the last two nights. Here are Shloime Dachs, Benny Friedman and AY Karsh singing Meheira (Speedily) as in we should speedily hear the voices of grooms and brides. Hmmm.

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.
