G-d is my light and my salvation ...

This Psalm has always been among my favorites and now I can better understand why. I appreciate the Rabbi's insights and the daily dose of wisdom I receive each morning from Chabad. Thank you!

High Holiday Anthem

I didn't know that the High Holiday had an Anthem. I was surpised to see that it is the 27th Psalm. My auntie used to say read the 27th Psalm, I don't think she knew that it was an anthem, ut it has always encouraged my soul. Thank you so much for all of information. May God continue to bless and keep you.
