An Army That Sings and Dances
Please see my new poem in The Times of Israel called "An Army That Sing and Dances."
In joy and tears.
By song and dance.
With an uplifted heart and a yearning soul.
Soldiers of the Holy Land.
They stand before G-d Almighty.
Ready to lay down their lives in complete faith.
The Redemption is here.
Just open your eyes.
Oh L-rd, return us to the Promised Land.
In joy and tears.
By song and dance.
With an uplifted heart and a yearning soul.
To serve You, and only You.

Tinker at the Mall
I guess if you go shopping in the mall right before the holidays, you're sure to run into some zany characters.
This guy, Tinker, did a little dance and gave the elf thumbs up.
I wonder if all this was to communicate to us that we need to spend more money and buy more things (we don't need) for the holidays? ;-)

An Amazing Piano of the Arts
Wow, what a piano this is!
It combines beautiful music with incredible art, including woman dancing in a circle.
Music + Art + Dance!
It is a great instrument bar none.
To look at, to listen to, to feel alive with. ;-)

Purple Thingamajig
You can dance if you want to.
Even if you're a purple thingamajig.
You can leave your friends behind.
Cause your friends don't dance, and if they don't dance.
Then they're no friends of mine.
Dance purple thingamajig, dance! ;-)

Artechouse = Art + Tech + House
This place was really cool in Washington, D.C.
Artechouse = Art + Tech + House.
Great immersive technology, art, music, dance, and light show.
Highly recommend it!
This exhibit "Lucid Motion" was by Japanese artist Daito Manabe X Rhizomatiks Research.
They also had a nice augmented reality display.
Had fun with the clan.
Hope you enjoy!

Rocking Mimouna @Magen David Synagogue
I learnt last night that Mimouna comes from the word "Emunah" which means faith.
The Mimouna is the celebration at the end of Passover.
It is a custom from the Jews who lived in Morocco who celebrated hand-in-hand with their Arab neighbors in peace and harmony
This celebration of faith, friendship, and peace has now become standard in Jewish communities far and wide.
In the light of the anti-Semitic instances yesterday with the vilr caricature in the garbage New York Times and the Shooting at the Chabad synagogue in San Diego (exactly 6 months after the shooting at the Pittsburgh synagogue), I say:
Let us have faith in the one true G-d that he will redeem his loving people of all religions and utterly punish the haters and anti-Semites for the evil they are.

Why We Chase Love
Being a heart alone in this world is very lonely, indeed.
Chasing another heart, so that we can pair together makes two less lonely hearts.
Two hearts that beat as one making beautiful music together.
When the hearts are in harmony, we sway and are uplifted flying away into the heavens.
And when the music is discordant, we are forced to retune and to grow wings that we never even knew we had.
Hearts that complement each other, help us face the questions we often fear to ask ourselves.
When these hearts meet, they touch so gently, and like silk they dance a perfect dance.
What is meaningless alone is all of a sudden meaningful with another.
What is too painful to bear by oneself is manageable when shared between two.
And what is joyful is magnified in sweetness when there is someone else to enjoy it with.
One heart chases another until they embrace that long blissful embrace. ;-)

Awesome "Am Echad" by Ari Goldwag
And you are not with me
What am I when I am separate?
For I am a Jew
I do not go alone
Just with you, my friend, hand in hand
One nation, one song
Come my brother and give me your hand
And we will rejoice and dance together
As one person, with one heart
I don't want want to be alone,
Just forever brothers sitting together
To be a family
Is the secret of joy
For everything is better together
And we sing
All Israel are friends
We won't give up on anyone
If we can successfully love
And sing 'how pleasant..'
The Moshiach will come soon

The Heart of The Matter
Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called, "Heartfelt Challenges."
It's about some of my reflection on having a heart condition.
Praying and hoping that please G-d everything goes well with the upcoming procedure.

It's about some of my reflection on having a heart condition.
Over time, what I’ve learned is that what is really important in life is not money, honor, power, or pleasure, but the simple things of family, community, faith, caring, giving, and generally trying your best in all circumstances. Every day is a chance to keep learning.
Praying and hoping that please G-d everything goes well with the upcoming procedure.

Haleli @Mimouna with Magen David Synagogue
Praise be our G-d, the Master of the Universe.
May he bless us with an abundance of good for the New Year after the Passover commemoration of our exodus from slavery to His redemption and the Holy Land of Israel.
Blessings, Peace, Health, Prosperity, and Joy!
What a lovely event with the community of Magen David Synagogue in Maryland.
My heart is uplifted by the song, dance, friendship, and faith in the Almighty. ;-)
