oseh Shalom

While we Gentiles and heathen [the latter would be me, sigh!] sing "Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me...," a Jew would sing, in much the same heart and spirit, "oseh Shalom", which is actually a prayer addressed to the One deity, asking that G-d would "cause peace."

If you've been reading this blog at all and would like to share in something truly beautiful, click on the youtube address below. You will hear a variety of singers perform this song/prayer.

And if you will, as you listen, send peace and positive energy or prayer or however you phrase it on your spiritual path--for Elsa Newman and her sons.
