The blessing of the Sun

Watching the video I was strangly moved. I shared this information with friends as we spent the day getting ready ready for the first night of Passover and felt in awe as the Sun truly reveal itself as we watched the sunset leaving the sky blessed with many colors annoucing the end of the day and the beginning of Pesach. Thank you for sharing this moving ritual. G-d willing I will still be alive to participate in the cermony 28 years from.

Blessing of the Sun

Once again, I can not thank-you enough for that beautiful, awe inspiring video from Brisbane, Australia. I could not attend a public ceremony since I am in a cast, but thank G-d, the video was a mini service which brought tears to my eyes! I was able to follow the Birkat Hachamah prayers, right in the comfort of my home and it was as if I were in synagogue. Everybody, have a sweet Pesach. And may G-d continue to bless this organization and continue to educate us. It goes beyond words, to depict what a blessing this website it!
