[HANASHIR:7066] Re: add a prayer for peace

[Meris Ruzow <meris...>]

Dear Jill, You are certainly in our prayers -- constantly.   Our rabbi did a
beautiful, but painful sermon on what's going on in Israel now and it shook
a lot of "once a year types" who don't really follow what's going on.   But
rest assured that those of us in the trenches are most concerned and are
singing songs with our kids; I just started one with my middle school chorus
by Doug Cotler called "Yisrael."   Everyone should pick that up and sing it.
It's a great lesson and a beautiful song........
Our prayers are with you.
B'shalom v' shalom al Yisrael............
Meris Ruzow
