The service ended with the singing of the song, Eifo Uri - Where is my
light? My friend thought that the words sounded inspirational, particularly
since our congregation is named Temple Beth Ora - House of Light.
The words,translated from Hebrew, are as follows:
Where is my light? My light is in me.
Where is my hope? My hope is in me.
Where is my strength? My strength is in me.
And in you.
Does anyone know this song? Who wrote it? Where I can get the music?
Thank you,
This song was written by Rabbi Sherwin Wine, who is the founder of the
Humanistic Jewish movement. The Birmingham Temple, where you heard about it,
is one of the first Humanistic Jewish congregations. I suggest you contact
the national organization: Society for Humanistic Judaism, 28611 West Twelve
Mile Road, Farmington Hills, MI 48334 (313) 478-7610, to contact Sherwin
Wine, or you can contact me personally and I'll see if I can dig it up.
