Selling Chametz
Even if you don’t keep a kosher kitchen, and/or you don’t “convert” your kitchen for Pesach, there is still spiritual value in selling your chametz: You are engaging with myriad Jews worldwide in a practice that can be traced back to Torah and, if you include a donations to “ma’ot chitin,” you are enabling those in need to more fully celebrate Pesach.

Kedusha
The siddur, the guide to our prayer lives, is rich with yearning, with gratitude, with praise. The heart (“mimmekomecha”) of the heart (kedusha) of the heart (amida) of the morning service on Shabbat and festivals is a plea for Adonai to restore divine sovereignty over Jerusalem. (Perhaps it is only God’s hand that can establish peaceful coexistence in that sacred city….)
Last spring, I composed a new melody for that text (page 161 in Siddur Lev Shalem). Listen, learn and come sing/pray it with us on Shabbat!
Shabbat shalom! שבת שלום
