Surely there is a Chabad community in your area. Better yet, since you are a Jew, come live in Israel. It's great here. Be well, Gutman

Bringing Shabbat Into The Week

As I look into this video and see the Rabbi playing this instrument and listening to the music. I meditate into his words. "When Moshiach comes." I ask myself this question: Hashem, blessed be He, this question: Why was my family scattered in the past. Why was I born into this family which seems to be cursed? I love Hashem so much, blessed be He. I also love my Jewish brethren. But it seems to me that I will never be amongst the congregation of my people. How sad. I have tried to contact most Jewish organizations without success. I am giving up. But no matter what, I am still a Jewess. I have a Jewish soul. Hashem have confirmed this to me. He said once. Your Gael Mael is near. Blessed be He. Maybe some day, if I try hard enough... No one understand. No one believes me. May Hashem's, will be done.

What Instrument?

I designed and hand-crafted that musical instrument and "invented" the tuning, too. You can hear more of it at my website. There is a CD, too. Also listen to the music on the meditation video.
