This Shabbat

This Shabbat I will rest from my fears

And exercise my endurance. 

This Shabbat I will eat food that builds me up

And reject the comforts of junk.  

This Shabbat I will pray our prayers

And ignore the lure of cults and false gods. 

This Shabbat I will laugh at the schmucks in power

And dance away from their greed. 

This Shabbat I will reject tempting easy answers 

And embrace doubt and obligation.  

This Shabbat I will nap through the cruelty

And revel in the bravery of love.  

Shabbat Shalom 

Amen
