Shabbat Shalom. Shanah Tovah.
Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, is very soon. In 2020 Rosh Hashanah coincides with Shabbat making the New Year even more powerful.
'Lecha Dodi' is the Jewish prayer song that welcomes in the Shabbat (Sabbath) and is said on Friday evenings in the synagogue. 'Lecha Dodi' means "come my beloved," and the community joins together in welcoming in the Shabbat that is referred to as the "bride": likrat kallah ("to greet the [Shabbat] bride").
This rendition of the song has a joyful tune and is performed in an environment of Love, Equality and Respect. It acts as a vision of a better future and provides optimism in difficult times!
You can see & feel the good energy, ruach (spirit) & atmosphere.
The video clip comes from a live stream Friday night Progressive Synagogue service held on Zoom in Johannesburg South Africa in September 2020.
The Beit Emanuel Progressive Synagogue chorister Leigh Nudelman Sussman sings from her home. The Rabbi & the entire community are in physical but not spiritual isolation.
Saving lives is an extremely high social & religious value. In 2020 & 2021, Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year) takes place in the shadow of the Coronavirus Pandemic.
The High Holy Days (HHD), will be very unusual as synagogues may decide to physically re-open with restrictions, or to remain closed.
In 2020, from 18 March 2020, just before Passover to Rosh Hashanah there were 5 months of total in-person closure.
In 2020 & 2021, religious services take place in lockdown & even for the HHD are restricted to 50 people inside, per minyan. To accomodate people, the Orthodox shuls will have multiple minyans of around 2hours per service. All 50 people must be wearing masks, physical distanced and upholding strict hygiene laws.
While Jews are physically distant we are together in thought & heart.
I hope this video brings you joy.
Looking forward to a New Year where people may congregate & celebrate life and community in health, peace & freedom.
"L'Shanah Tovah Ketivah v’chatima tovah”
May you be Inscribed and Sealed for a Good and Sweet New Year!
