Mi Shebeirach

Lyrics by Debbie Friedman and D'rora Setel

Mi shebeirach avoteinu
M'kor habracha l'imoteinu

May the source of strength who blessed the ones before us,
Help us find the courage to make our lives a blessing
And let us say: Amen.

Mi shebeirach imoteinu
M'kor habracha l'avoteinu

Bless those in need of healing with refuah sh'leimah
The renewal of body, the renewal of spirit
And let us say: Amen.

Happy Australia Day!!!!


May the snaggers be hot,
the stubbies ice cold,
the fireworks bonza,
and all yobbos stuck at home crook.

A Happy New Year to One and All!

And what better way to start the New Year than pondering the fates of those who saw fit to remove themselves from the gene pool.
