Modest ones

Tomorrow morning's Haftorah is Ezekiel's vision of the 'valley of the dry bones.' The Haftorah is a prophecy of what will God willing happen when the Messiah arrives.

Here are Yaakov Shwekey and Yossi Green with Anovim, Modest Ones, a song that describes what will happen when the Messiah arrives, God willing, speedily and in our times.

Let's go to the videotape.



Shabbat Shalom everyone. I just hope the Messiah figures out what kind of hat to wear.....

Overnight music video

Wednesday is the travel day - Tuesday was just crazy. I will try to post more from the airport, and I am changing planes in Europe (isn't that always true?).

Here's Yaakov Shwekey with Lo Yaavod (sorry - I didn't even get to watch the video because one of my kids came to talk to me as I was posting this at 1:30 am).

Let's go to the videotape.

Overnight music video

I'm sitting in the departure terminal at Las Vegas McCarran Airport waiting for my departure for Boston (via LAX). If you're here, come by and say hello :-) (If you're here and want to come by and say hello, send an email and I'll tell you where I am).

Unfortunately, it doesn't look good for Dad.... He had surgery today for an intestinal blockage, and he's in intensive care. My brother and sister-in-law are on their way to Boston and should be there in an hour or so. I arrive in the morning God willing. Please continue to pray for Reuvain Yerachmiel ben Nechama.

Here's Yaakov Shwekey with Yivoda.

Let's go to the videotape.

Overnight music video

Here's a song that's got contemporary implications. It's Yaakov Shwekey's Rabbi Nehorai, and the text is from the last Mishna in Tractate Kiddushin. It says "Rabbi Nehorai said, I am leaving over every other occupation in the world and only teaching my son Torah."

Let's go to the videotape.

Here's Yaakov Shwekey with Batuach Ani (I am sure), which comes from the Slichoth prayers.

Shabbat Shalom everyone.
