This Shabbat, we are all seeking comfort after Tisha B'Av. Many of us will seek for that comfort through song. I've always liked the Jewish accapella version of the song "Nachamu ami" from this week's haftarah and I will definitely be playing it for those who I teach at Ramah Nyack. Also, today is Zimriya at Ramah, so many many more will be seeking comfort from being with others in their community and singing together.
Shabbat, in general, is a comforting time. Many have told me before that they feel that it gives them comfort to know that Shabbat is coming up at the end of the week.
I am NOT recommending to seek comfort through these drinks! However, I do think that in celebration of Shabbat and of what we do currently have in our Jewish communities around the world that we should celebrate and seek comfort from each other.
p.s. I want to give a quick shout-out to two Rachels in my life who are graduating today from the YU Social Work Program!
