 New Moon over Kiryat Ata, Israel |

NEW MOON NEWS
According to our brothers in Israel, the new moon of the sixth biblical month was seen in Israel as expected. So, this evening, w'day, at sundown is Rosh Chodesh. This makes yom chameshi / th'day 28AUG2014, Rosh Chodesh Day. Rosh Chodesh Sameach! The Erev Shabbat Family Dinner is on f'day 29AUG2014 at 7 pm. The theme is Italian
Since this is the month of Elul, that makes about 29 days to Yom T'ruah; 40 days to Yom Kippurim; and 45 days to Sukkot. These days are approximate due to the necessary sighting of the new moon of the 7th month, Yom T'ruah.
Here is the traditional blessing for the new month:
O YHVH our El and El of our fathers, make this coming month one of good and of blessing. Grant us long life, a life of peace, of good, of blessing, of sustenance, of vigor; a life marked by a reverence for You and a dread of sin; a life free from shame and reproach; a life of prosperity and honor; a life in which the love of the Torah and the fear of You, YHVH, animate us; a life in which our heartfelt desires are fulfilled for good. You chose Your people Israel from all nations, and gave us instructions about the new month celebrations. Deserving of praise are You YHVH, Who hallows Israel and the new month celebration. B'shem Y'shua M'shekheinu. Amein. |

KHM Feeds the Hungry
10SEP2014 is our next turn to feed the homeless and needy of Columbia County. If you like to cook, join us at 9:30 am to chop, saute and do all that fun stuff. We pack the lunch boxes at 11:15 am and we leave KHM at 11:40 for delivery downtown. While downtown, we not only pass out the food, but visit with the clients, providing social contact to many who are not always well received by society. Join in wherever you feel led.
After our 'delivery guys' return, we'll have lunch together. Great fun, food and fellowship! What's keeping you?? C'mon down! |

Meditating on the Word of YHVH
with Marta Rae
1 Kings 5:13
God gave Solomon exceptional wisdom and understanding....
He could discuss trees, from the cedar in the L’vanon to the hyssop
growing out of the wall; he could discuss wild animals, poultry, reptiles and fish.
Shabbat Shalom! |

Prayer for the State of Israel
TEFILAH LIMDINAT YISRA'EL / PRAYER FOR THE STATE OF ISRAEL
From Kol Haneshamah: Shabbat Vehagim, the Shabbat and Festival siddur of the Reconstructionist Movement
Rock and champion of Israel, please bless the state of Israel, first fruit of the flourishing of the fruit of our redemption. Guard it in the abundance of your love. Spread over it the shelter of your peace. Send forth your light and truth to those who lead and judge it, and to those who hold elective office. Establish in them, through your presence, wise counsel, that they might walk in the way of justice, freedom and integrity. Strengthen the hands of those who guard our holy land.
Let them inherit salvation and life. And give peace to the land, and perpetual joy to its inhabitants. Appoint for a blessing all our kindred of the house of Israel in all the lands of their dispersion. Plant in their hearts a love of Zion. And for all our people everywhere, may God be with them, and may they have the opportunity to go up to the land. Cause your spirit's influence to emanate upon all dwellers of our holy land. Remove from their midst hatred and enmity, jealousy and wickedness.
Plant in their hearts love and kinship, peace and friendship. And soon fulfill the vision of your prophet Nathan: "Nation shall not lift up sword against nation. Let them no longer learn ways of war ... [b'shem Y'shua ...]
And let us say: Amen. |
