Dear Friends and Family,

Last week’s message was filled with books and authors. This week it’s music.

Pirate Radio is a great movie. It reminded me of Israel in the 80s when, during our free time on the Kibbutz, we were glued to the “Voice of Peace”, a radio station anchored off the coast of Tel Aviv. It was rumored that John Lennon financed the station to communicate messages of peaceful coexistence and awesome music. Abie Nathan ran the station until 1993 (he died last August), but this year they launched an online station at http://www.thevoiceofpeace.co.il/ (I’m listening to it right now).

Keeping in the Beatles and music theme, I watched Sir Paul McCartney last night (on TV) at a concert in NY at the new Citi Field (grounds of the old Shea Stadium). It was a great concert.

Lastly, my daughter sent me this fun music and dancing video of Hanukah on Ben Yehuda Street in Jerusalem. http://www.nbn.org.il/flashmob/

Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration last night.

Wishing you Health, Love and a Peaceful Shabbat,

Lisa

P.S. For those of you new to these emails, this is my attempt to keep in touch with friends and family who live out of town with weekly Shabbat Shalom emails.

Dear Friends and Family,

This was a week of Authors in Michigan. I heard Jonathan Tropper on Sunday at the Jewish Book Fair. He wrote, “This is Where I Leave You”, which is about a dysfunctional family sitting shiva. His books are humorous and poignant (one of my favorite authors).

And last night, at a Federation event, I heard Stephen Dubner. I also recommend his books, Turbulent Souls and Freakonomics.

Lastly, Michigan had the “honor” of being the first stop on Sarah Palin’s book tour. Apparently she has a following, though she is NOT on my list of favorites.

To those living here in the US, I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

I hope you and your families are well.

Wishing you Health, Love and a Peaceful Shabbat,

Dear Friends and Family,

Can you believe Sesame Street is 40 years old and it has been 20 years since the Berlin Wall fell?

All in the Lis Family are well and healthy here in Farmington Hills, though poor Ariella has a terrible cold in Cambridge, MA.   Liat is happy in Maui getting ready to start work at Rancho Relaxzo (a Permaculture Farm in Kula).

Shabbat dinner is at our home this week.  We wish you could join us.

Wishing you Health, Love and a Peaceful Shabbat,

Lisa

Dear Friends and Family (who live out of town and who I would like to keep in touch with more often),

I am attempting a new tradition of sending quick brief Shabbat Shalom emails each Friday morning.  This is my first one and I hope it will become habitual.

In Farmington Hills, the leaves are covering our lawn and a frost formed this morning.

All is well in our household.  We are recovering from Aviv’s Bar Mitzvah two weeks ago and looking forward to visiting Liat in Hawaii this winter.

I plan to keep these emails brief and any brief reply is a bonus.

Wishing you Health, Love and a Peaceful Shabbat,

Lisa
