Shabbos High

I had a lovely shabbat going to Friday night services at Rommemu. The music brings a whole dimension to the prayer.  It was a wonderful transition from Shavout to sharing shabbat with the Rommemu community.  We came back from the retreat and raising up the energy in Manhattan Singing Lecha Dodi to the tune of Leonard Cohen Hallelujah  A lovely spring evening. Today I went back to Rommemu for shabbat. A woman who was at Isabella was celebrating her birthday. There was also a baby naming for a baby who was adopted. Very emotional.
I am enjoying connecting with people I know both from CA and here. Lots of spirit. Aviva's haunting voice played in the car on the way to Manhattan. We were in our shabbat bubble.
