From The Avot V’ Imahot:
Ruler of all the living, Your ways are ways of love. You remember the faithfulness of our ancestors, and in love bring redemption to their children for the sake of Your name. You are our Sovereign and our Help, our Redeemer and our Shield. We praise You, Eternal One, Shield of Abraham, Protector of Sarah.
Last Friday night, my daughter and I went to services at another temple in town. It was 3rd grade Shabbat there and she had friends singing in the service. The Sanctuary was packed, and emitted a very different feeling than what we’re used to here at Valley. Still and all Shabbat was celebrated as a community of faith and I left with the feelings of peace and comfort I feel on Friday nights. Being together as a community of faith is a feeling that stays with me long into the next week. Even if it’s not at “my” temple. Is it possible for us to help instill these feelings in our students (and their families)? I would be happy to discuss with you ways to do this.
