Shabbat Re-eh 5781

After being in Israel for two weeks, I am honored to resume teaching the weekly Torah portion through music. I encourage you to read this week’s parshah, Re-eh, and learn about it through these YouTube clips. What do the following songs have to do with this week’s reading?
 
The Clash ask an eternal question
 
Hot Summer Night
 
Genesis with Phil Collins turns pop
 
Laurie Anderson joins Peter Gabriel
 
Check the Measurement
 
Make like Kate (three times annually)
 
On Shabbat morning, I spoke about the song Mehake (Waiting), with music by Idan Raichel and lyrics by Rita. Here are both artists’ versions of this beautiful song.

Now that we are coming back to shul in person, I will be revealing the connections in the break between Minhah and Ma’ariv. Join us in person in the sanctuary, or virtually on the livestream, at 7:45 PM.
 
Wishing you a Shabbat Shalom, and as always, good health,  
 
Rabbi David Wise
