Remembering Secrets Week # 5
Track # 9 A Child's Blessing
יהודה כ"ץ - ישימך by YehudahKatz
What an awesome tradition and practice that we have among the Jewish people!
Every week on Friday night at the beautiful Shabbat table, the flames of the Shabbat candles lighting up our home's with peace and love.
We bless each other, welcome in our accompanying angels, draw the line between weekday and sanctity and get ready to bless our children with special prayers.
May you, my sons, be blessed like the sons of Yosef Hatzaddik, Efraim and Menashe, as they were blessed by our forefather Jacob, of blessed memory.
And may all my beautiful daughters be blessed to be place right in there with our Mothers, Sarah ,Rivkah, Rachel and Leah.
With so much praise and thanks to Hashem , I have 7 daughters who deserve blessings every day, each one so special with her unique qualities and love.
28 years ago on the day that I stood before Hashem's Torah to offer a name upon the birth of my 2nd daughter Rivkah, we were all blessed to have me receive this melody.
It is the song which I sing every Friday evening at the Shabbat table, with special dedicated thoughts of blessings for all of them.
May Hashem bless you with all of the things that you need and want to make you even more beautifulץ
May Hashem shine his powerful spiritual light upon you, with your beautiful inner and outer graceful smile reflecting this awesome light and countenance.
May Hashem lift you up and keep you at Peace.
And, blessings for everyone to bless each other: Blessings for all of us to give and receive and feel blessed every moment of every day.
As I have said before at numerous schools, wouldn't it be nice if one Friday night, your children also turned around and blessed you.
So some food for thought over the next 24 hours, how would you like to bless your parents this Shabbat?
Shabbat Shalom,
Yehudah Katz
