Davvening Shacharit with HINENI 11am EST/8am PST The final verse of the Maftir for the triennial cycle in this week's Torah Portion (Vayishlach) is Genesis 35:15, וַיִּקְרָ֨א יַעֲקֹ֜ב אֶת־שֵׁ֣ם הַמָּק֗וֹם אֲשֶׁר֩ דִּבֶּ֨ר אִתּ֥וֹ שָׁ֛ם אֱלֹהִ֖ים בֵּֽית־אֵֽל׃ Jacob gave the site, where God had spoken to him, the name of Bethel. Bethel...Beit-El...The House of God. On Shabbat, we can also call our homes "Beit-El," because we invite the Sabbath Bride in through the kavanah we create: Cleaning, the smells of the challah, the lighting of candles and singing L'cha Dodi. I feel very much right now that my home is definitely about to take on that status. So even when I cannot go to the shul tonight or tomorrow morning, God is in this place! And I DO know! We wish a beautiful, blessed Shabbat Shalom to you all. Please take some time to listen to the Reflection on Psalm 1:4, https://www.hineni.space/blog/category/psalm-1 (75 minutes) |
New Psalm Reflections
We will be doing one Psalm per week, beginning with...Psalm 1:1. The hope is that over several YEARS we will be able to complete the entire Book of Psalms with you. Listen to all the Psalm Reflections [Here] |
