Shabbat

This Portion. Shabbat Yom Kippur

Part 1:This Portion. Shabbat Yom Kippur
 
First
 
Let ùs all send to hèaven 
Prayers for those suffering in the wake of the Florida hurricane
And
Prayrs for our people being attacked as I write this by another couple of hundred missiles
And
Prayers for a healthy year and for peace for all our people everywhere
 
And 
an end to aggression by Iran and Russia -
and a hold - STOP -
on all those others like North Korea and China who are smiling at us while the world is in turmoil,
STOP THE ATTACKS - May the Almighty TEACH THE TORAH of wisdom and peace
TO THE WHOLE SUFFERING EARTH
 
My prayers are with you all - and with all of Israel,
And for a Better World.
 
NEXT - SELICHOT PRAYERS AND YOM KIPPUR PREPARATION

New: Part  2: This Portion. Shabbat Yom Kippur - remembering Oregon
 
About 430 this morning I went to the Mikva near my home.
 
I didn't use he cold pool - just the warm one.
 
I remembered being Cantor - Hazzan - in Eugene Oregon one year - where
a few guys took me to the Wilammette River to dip - the ABSOLUTE COLDEST
I was eve rin.
 
Just remembering that made me think whether I needed to be in the Mikva today
 
Then my friend the local Rabbi showed up and said hello.
 
I once was short a few hundred dollars - and he loaned me the sum - a great guy.
 
Women Mikvas are supposed to be so no one sees you.
 
Guy Mikvas are a place - like the restored  Roman Bathhouses I was in in Hungary
 
were always places of business tranactions and the latest news
 
So I dunked 7 times and got out, and sent Part One before my Talmud study
 
May we all try to come clean and pure and get close to the Almighty - and HOLINESS
 
This Erev Yom Kippur
 
Chag Samayach
