V’ahavta II (D. Friedman)
And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart,
with all your soul and with all your might.
And these words which I command you on this day,
shall be upon your heart.
And you shall teach them diligently unto your children.
And you shall speak of them when you sit in your house,
when you walk by the way, and when you lie down,
and when you rise up.
And you shall bind them for a sign upon your hand,
and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes.
And you shall write them on the doorposts of your house,
and upon your gates.
That you may remember and do all of my commandments and be holy unto your God.

Miriam’s Song (D. Friedman)
And the women dancing with their timbrels
Followed Miriam as she sang her song.
Sing a song to the One whom we’ve exalted.
Miriam and the women danced and danced the whole night long.
a) And Miriam was a weaver of unique variety,
    The tapestry she wove was one that sang our history,
    With every strand and every thread she crafted her delight,
    A woman touched with spirit, she dances toward the light.
b) When Miriam stood upon the shores and gazed across the sea
    The wonder of this miracle she soon came to believe,
    Whoever thought the sea would part with an outstretched hand,
    And we would pass to freedom to the Promised Land.
c) And Miriam the prophet took her timbrel in her hand,
    And all the women followed her just as she had planned.
    Miriam raised her voice in song and sang with praise and might,
    We’ve just lived thru a miracle; we’re going to dance tonite.

Morning Blessings
Blessed are the night and its rest,

The day and its challenges and this day for peace.
Blessed is the wonder of our bodies,
The Miracle of our minds,
The marvel of conciousness and the great depth within us.
Blessed are the senses of our body,
And the many orifices therein,
For without them, we would surely die.

The freedom to change and grow,
And the capacity to give and receive love.
And blessed are we for being here this morning
To celebrate this special day together.
