Just a Simple Day in the Life of Simple Jews

So with great Emunah we set out from the Shomron and preceeded to the B'cha Yordan. the lowest place on Earth. and we arrived in the Ir HaKodesh Teverias by the lake we sat ate lunch in the rain, then we entered Rabbi Meir H'Baal H'neis to say parshas Maan (Shemos 16:4-24) which is a segula for parnsah and to davin Mincha.


Then we proceeded to "Rasbi" Rebbe shimon bar Yochi in Meron, as we traveled the Rebbe gave a shiur out of Zohar Mishpatim on the Sabba. We went up, up til we arrived. After taking a mikva, and saying tikun h'kalli, we had the privilege to davin with an Elder Rebbe, I'm not sure of who as I didn't get his name, it was so sweet the yidisha prayers lifted us up and we transcended the cold and the rain we felt the warmth of the tefilas. After the payers we spontaneously started to dance a real chasdidisa dancing, then the brochot from the Rebbe.
Then on to ir H'kodesh Zefat. We stayed at Accent where we met several people on the quest to find the truth... There was a terrible Storm all night like a hurricane but freezing cold. In the morning all was peaceful as we arose before dawn to immerse ourselves and davin shacharis at the Sanser Beish Medrish to davin with the kinder the voices of angels pure and holy lifted us even further. We return to Accent and to eat the morning meal.

Again on our way. now we traveled right to the gevul the boarder of Lebanon to tel kedesh A very holy place as no one has lived there from the time of belshazer Ha rasha. After a little confusion over where exactly we were or should be we found the spot. We sat down and began the Ten Shirim the Ten songs:








1) Song of Creation, (Bereishis 1:1-2:3), 2) Song at the Sea, (Shemos15:1-26), 3)Miram's Song... 4)Song of the well (Bamidbar 21:17-20), 5)Parshas Haazinu (Devarim 32:1-43), 6)Devorah's Song (Shoftim 5:1-31), 7)Hannah's Song (I samuel 2:1-11), 8)David's Song (II Samuel 22:1-51)
9)Hezekiah's Song (Ysaiahu 38:9-20), 10) Song of Songs (Shir hashirim 1:1-8:14)





We left this holy place and headed down toward the kinneret on our way home.



On our way home we stopped and davined at the Rambam mincha and meditated on the days events. We all felt an awe of the mission that we had just accomplished.

It was yom revivi of parshas B'shalach which includes the Song at the Sea and the Haftorah is Devorah's song.



"Yechi razton" Mat it be Hashem's will that in the merit of our tefilas and our singing of
these kadosh songs may we merit to bring the gelua sh'laimah and to see Our Righteous Redeemer in our days Amen.

Blessings Rebbe Nati
