[HANASHIR:16891] Interfaith solidarity Shabbat

[Joel Simon <joelsimon...>]

Hello Hava Nashira community,

I am the student rabbi for the synagogue in Paducah, KY.  Last Thursday, for
the first time in almost 150 years, the synagogue was victim of a hate
crime, as anti-Jewish remarks and swastikas were spray painted on the
building.  The non-Jewish community in Paducah has been overwhelming in
their support, and as a result, this Friday the whole community is invited
for a wall scrubbing, an interfaith discussion, and a Shabbat service (where
I come in)

For the service, I am trying to put together something that is welcoming to
all, while still respecting Shabbat.  So, I'm looking for English readings
and songs that can be woven into the service with a theme of brotherly (and
sisterly) love and solidarity, and I was looking for ideas.  Feel free to
e-mail me privately with any ideas you have.  I really appreciate it,

Joel Simon
