Currently I am reading on my own Shabbat time the Book of Isaiah. I found a video that might explain the Book of Isaiah more clearly than I might. To be quite honest… I am finding the Book of Isaiah difficult to not only understand, but retain. I do enjoy reading and understanding what I am currently able, but there is not a doubt in my mind I will need more in depth instruction on this book.

This week’s Jewish terminology word is: krechz

So for today’s word which my personally owned The JPS Dictionary of Jewish Words by Joyce Eisenberg and Ellen Scolnic 2001 copyright 1st edition defines this weeks Jewish Terminology Word krechz as a verb a Yiddish word pronounced (KREKHTZ) To sigh, moan and grunt about a little ache or pain or minor discomfort. The sound are often accompanied by “oy.” Old fashion usage.

With a heavy heart we will do our best to review this weeks definition of hevrah kadishah (HEV-rah kah-DEE-shah). This word for the week was chosen at random. I was going to ask the children in the home class to chose another word. With the terrible and violate attacks at the Jerusalem synagogue recently and the other hate filled senseless murders that happened this past week; it didn’t seem right. But, then I felt a leading… almost like… someone asking me, “what about the other deaths that did not make the news? What about the value of life and to live as G-D has commanded?”

Are all these troubles in the world because we as humans have forgotten the value of life and to live for G-D? Have we forgotten our duty to our creator and fellow man?

“HaShem SAVE! May the king answer us on the day that we call!”
