lyrics: Yosi Gispen (spelling in English?) based on Deuteronomy 6:4 Hear O Israel tune: Shmuel Elbaz (spelling in English?)

Sarit Hadad The "Shma' Yisrael" - "Hear, o Israel" - is said twice a day by religious Jews, and many a secular Jew says it in the moment of death.

Tomer, when he was not yet nine years old see Puzzle Pieces 17ppNote

Today is Tomer's 13 birthday.
See the appendix to this page: Tomer's journey to Bangkok
His Bar-Mitzva should have been celebrated.
But the "events" he created in our life are not "appropriate".
So I want to put trust into Tomer's singing of this prayer,
"Hear , O Israel!"
when he was not yet nine years old.
See the "crown" upon my "Fourfold Path of Grate-Full-ness"

When the heart weeps, only God hears The pain rises up from the soul a human being falls before he sinks with a small prayer he cuts the silence. Hear, o Israel, my God, you are omnipotent, you gave me my life, you gave me everything, in my eyes is a tear, the heart weeps quietly and when the heart keeps silent, the soul screams

Hear, o Israel, my God, now I am alone, strengthen me, my God, help me not to be afraid the pain is great and there is nowhere to run away help that it will end, for no power is left in me. When the heart weeps, time stops from moving The human being sees all his life suddenly, to the unknown he does not want to go, to his God he calls on the verge of the abyss.

On his birthday Tomer seemed to try to communicate something to me, by playing this video, and when I watched, he played it a second time...

300000 children in Israel are "children-and-youth-at-risk" and on November 12, so the huge poster says, "we'll look into their eyes".

Sarit Hadad - Light a Candle lyrics by Joav Ginai, tune by Ztvika Pick The translation of the Hebrew words is mine. Sometimes it seems there is no hope, And all looks gloomy and unknown, The flowers in field and garden don't bloom and in the evening only the wind is whipping Light a candle, Light a candle with me A thousand candles in the dark Will open our hearts. Sometimes it looks as if the tomorrow will not bring any solace to weeping and sorrow, and the long long night drags on without promise and sharp as a razor blade is the gloom. Come on and let's light a candle together. Light a candle, Light a candle with me, A thousand candles in the dark Will open our hearts. Light all the candles Let's light the candles everywhere Just look at me and take my hand The heat of love will glow again.

my own singing on June 18, 2011 as to the original singing of Sarit, listen to it on puzzle piece 17bb "Sound" the lyrics, so relevant for humanity's predicament, combining the local Hebrew with the universal English, the rich and sweeping tune, which is now on all our lips, Sarit's singing bridges between orient and occident, perhaps between Israeli and Ismaeli music. In 1999 she sang in Jordan, under a cover name....

[see context: Nourishment>June 17, 2011]

Maybe this is the right time to modify and sing Dalit Argil's version
of "Shma' Yisrael" together with its interpretation in Isaiah 45:7!!
Dalit Argil lives in the USA, but perhaps 6 years ago,
I got her casette from her sister, Efrat's friend in Israel,

I often listen to her songs, which express such a deep connection with "God",
but it's only now, that I felt, I should modify what is her most courageous song,
the "Shma' Yisrael"
There is a line of praise which follows the "Shma' Yisrael, Hashem Elohenu, Hashem Aekhad",
Barukh sheim k'vod malkhuto l'olam va'ed.
Blessed be the Name of His glorious kingdom for ever and ever.
but "my" God doesn't care about being praised, "he" wants to be not more than my "coach",
and preferable to that: my "partner" (see "his" channeled communication with me in -pp6>2001/12/26).
Even more crucial for me is - to emphasize the outrageous meaning of "YHWH is ONE",
not "the only God", as "Monotheism" understands it,
but the ONE, who includes everyone and everything, including "Evil".
see how often I've endeavored to stress this on Healing-K.i.s.s. !!

I've also explained, that when there is no way to avoid pronouncing YHWH,
the Wise of Israel have found the solution: they read YHWH as "Ha-Shem",
the Name, i.e. the name of all names, as is hinted at in Zecharia's prophecy:
"And on that day YHWH will be One, and his name will be ONE" (Zech 14:9)
I therefore needed to replace Dalit's and most people's "Adonai" with "Ha-Shem",
because "Adonai" (in other languages translated as "The Lord") induces an image
(against the commandment to not make any image, any sculpture! Exodus 20:10),
and worse: the image of some Lord and King above us.
This old belief I deem conterproductive to what we all have to learn:
to know that each of us is an aspect of "God",
a ray of the one sun, a wave of the one ocean, a color of the one light,
and therefore totally responsible not only for him/herself as a person,
but for all that happens in Creation - be it beneficial or be it detrimental.

And this is Dalit's song, as I prefer to sing it.
I also omit Dalit's English lyrics and sing only the Hebrew lyrics

You are to love YHWH ... with all your heart, with all your being, with all your substance! And you will go with him all along the way You heard his voice and you listen to him inside und you open the eyes of your children. Hearken O Israel: YHWH our God, YHWH (is) One! I form the light, and I create darkness I make shalom*

my version and my singing of Dalit Argil's song "Shma' Yisrael" Deut. 6:5 + 4 (in this order) and Isaiah 45:7

I quote, what I inserted into a Godchannel message on 2010_02_22 [when I now, on February 22, 2010, restudied this material, I was stunned by a coincidence: I had just before , during breakfast, listened to a casette of mine, where I had let myself be recorded professionally, in a studio, when reading a little booklet , my first sculpting on the Internet, in 1995, distrubuted by hand as 48 copies, of which none stayed with me. It's there that I explain - as so often before and after, when talking to people face to face - as well as on this site, see e.g. in "Noah's Rainbow" how Jewish tradition, just as Christianity, in which the dualistic trend [God versus Satan] is better known, did not have the courage to quote the "I create evil", but left it out. Isaiah 45:5-7 I am YHWH and there is none else, beside Me there is no God.... That they may know from the rising of the sun and from the west that there is none beside Me I am YHWH and there is none else I form light, and I create darkness I make shalom* and I create evil; I am YHWH, that doeth all these things. *this can either mean: I make peace between light and darkness or: I make the whole, i.e. both peace and darkness Despite the Sages' intuition, that this verse in Isaiah indeed paraphrases the "YHWH is One" in the "Shma Yisrael", the "Credo" of Israel, and it is said twice a day before the Shma is said by religious Jews as the so-called birkat yotzer, Blessing of the one who creates, the point of the points : I create evil , is left out, which meant that they were "leaving no room in my identity for 'darkness.' something which is stupefying when one knows, how strict Jewish tradition was and is in quoting exactly - to the letter, - not only to the words!]

I quote from puzzle-piece 17 >2001_09_21>Sama'a dance Shma' Yisrael is the center of Judaism. Its message is like that of Godchannel: "YHWH, your God, is ONE." (Deut.6,4-6) Y H W H  is not a  noun,  but  a  verb: 'it happened, it happens, it will happen'. Lacking vocals -it can't be pronouned. Pronouncing would produce an image. Images of god or gods  limit  oneness. This part of the Shma' tells, what  IS. But why should, what is, interest me? If I want to fly in the space of sky,  I need to know the laws of the sky. If I want to live in the world, I need to know its basic law. If its basic law is: 'all is one',  I must be one - to be in tune. When am I closest to oneness? Is it not,when  I  love  myself? That's why the Shma' continues: "and you love YHWH", i.e. yourself, for you are an aspect of the One, like a ray of the sun, like a wave of the ocean, like a colour of the light, "with all your heart, and all your soul, and all your very." "and all your very" I interpret as "and all your body".

Back to June 17, 2011:
When 2 days ago that "praise-line" in Dalit's song asked to be replaced,
the words of that Isaiah verse "nestled" naturally into tune and rhythm,
Yet the tune left no space for that decisive, and always ignored statement:
"and I create darkness"
I twisted words, tune - to no avail - the "u-voree khoshekh" was excluded yet another time.
Thinking about it, I remember to have learnt - and what I learnt, resonated with me wholly -
that "evil" was NOT created by  i n t e n t i o n , like light and darkness and everything else.
EVIL is the consequence of several - necessary and not necessary "side-effects" of creation.
I'll only mention the unnecessary phenomenon : the Denial of the Feeling aspect of the One!

September 22, 2011 -
Though there is not enough free space on this page (maximum: 1300 kb) to insert a page with "Mika and Masterchef",
I find it symbolic, that there is space for a few "extras"...

Read from right to left

Rachel: I need to take a break in systematically cropping, editing and re-composing and instead choose to insert an article, "which says it all", especially about the grand "Dismissal-Assignment" on this day: "Slichah" - "Saying Sorry".

see the links to these videos in "Masterchef-Articles" I know, that these clips will disappear in time, before I'll have seen them all, but after I took the final decision to stop cropping, I'll simply have to make my peace with the incompleteness of my work
