]]>"Everyone Has A Name" Mezuzah Project, February 19, 10:30amhttp://www.shirshalom.net/welcome/everyone-has-a-name-mezuzah-project-february-19-1030am.htmlRabbi Joseph2012-01-15T14:58:00Z

 

 

Everyone has a name that God gives and  

one's father and mother give. 

Everyone has a name

that stature and the
curve of one's smile give
and the weave of
one's clothing gives.
Everyone has a name
that the mountains give
and the walls of one's city give. 

Everyone has a name
that the stars give
and one's neighbors give. 

Everyone has a name
that one's offenses give
and one's longing gives. 

Everyone has a name
that enemies give
and love for others gives. 

Everyone has a name
birthday celebrations give
and one's work gives. 

Everyone has a name
that the seasons
of the year give
and our blindness gives. 

Everyone has a name
that the sea gives
and
one's death
gives. 

 

 

The names we bear through life are defined by our public commitments as well as our private beliefs. As Jews, we hear the commandment "fix them to the doorposts of your house" (Deuteronomy 6), and we respond with the mezuzah, a very public sign of faith. 

 

10:30am: gather at Temple to share a buffet breakfast and engage in some preparatory work with Rabbi Joseph

 

11:00: Mezuzah Treasure Hunt! with children and families, designed by our own Jacob Goldberger, with help from our wonderful committee (Vera Rabino, Arlene Goldberger, Alan Geering, David Pawliger, Sharon Vogel). Prizes for participants, winner to be announced at Purim Carnival (March 4).
