My beloved family,

Another year has passed.

Are we closer than yesterday in fulfillment of our spirit’s longing?

Are words seeming less meaningful?

Is there sensual longing for the wordless?

away from media manipulations and buying and selling.

A soulfull longing for love and tenderness, compassion, healing and communion.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..maybe it is coming together !

As we gather together once again to express our joy and gratitude. We are a- life by Grace.

Come let us sing unto our Creator..With joy-us song.

HALLELUJAH : )

I have been living in Kula Maui Hawaii since December 2000.

(With my brother Joseph and my mother Nechama.)

On the way to Maui, in the San Francisco airport, my mother fell, and broke her leg. The extensive surgery and hospitalization detained us for a few weeks,

But we made it to Maui during Hanukkah! (It is all a miracle!)

So my mother and my brother were both in wheel chairs. I was a stranger in paradise..And The Lord did provide!

A whole lot of work for me. But hey, I’m a happy worker bee.

And thank G-D for the Sabbath!!

I was in Jerusalem Fiji for Passover. WOW (wonder of wonders!)

And I am so looking forward to our High Holy Day Community.

Many new musicians:
Cantor Arella Bar-Lev....a diamond voice set in a compassionate and creative heart.

Elliot Levine: Flutes and winds and soulful sounds of prayer from this Grammy award winning musician and composer.

(All the way from New York-the ‘old country’)

Rabbi Yoohoo once again, and again. a little laughele with awe and reverence..

Mariah Parker: hammer dulcimer, keyboard, voice, and a depth of soul to nurture our spirit reservoir.

And so many surprises...if the centered silence and babies coo weren’t enough!

I greet you all with Thanks-giving and gladness,

And may you be blessed and sustained in the coming year.

Love and shalom..

Natan
