We Sing We Stay Together: Shabbat Morning Service Prayers

We Sing We Stay Together: Shabbat Morning Service Prayers is a super user-friendly Sing-Along prayer book for the Shabbat (Saturday) Morning Synagogue Service with TRANSLITERATED ENGLISH TEXT translation and explanation of the service. Its primary purpose is to make it beyond easy to learn the prayers when listening and singing along to the 64 track music CD album set of the same name; but it also stands in its own right as a learning tool explaining the meaning of the words and the service. Our Jewish prayers are beautiful love songs; full of goodness affection adoration hope kindness and generosity. They are our DNA even if we do not know them because these prayers our religion have moulded the Jewish people; our way of thinking education who we are and what we represent. Judaism is all about being good and positive for oneself family community the wider world - all out of respect and love for Hashem. It fills me with gratitude humility and pride. Our heritage is an intellectual cultural spiritual and religious blessing - but we need easy access. I was never able to participate in the Shabbat Morning Service but I loved those moments when the whole community comes together and sings a few short prayers with moving melodies. There just was not enough of it we needed more singing much more! Community is all about family and friends and we are all friends it is actually written in one of our prayers. Our prayers are crying out to be sung with great happiness clearly and harmoniously. Communal prayers are all about belonging sharing and that is only possible if we can all join in as equals; and for that we need clearly articulated words that are easy to learn and enjoyable to sing. I dedicate this project of contributing additional melodies for the Shabbat Morning Service prayers and writing a Sing-Along prayer book to all who love and care for Jewish Continuity Judaism Torah and the Nation-State of the Jewish People Israel; and so also to all our wonderful friends the righteous among the nations. Remember to remember that when we sing together we stay together. AM ISRAEL CHAI - the people of Israel live. With love and hope for our children Richard Collis
