The Power is in our Hands to Be United in that one Prayer together for PEACE asking God above to Be our Guide In This one Prayer for Healing and Peace across the Whole World We Pray ...With Faith Hope And Love ..
This version of Shalom Rav was written by Cantor Jeff Klepper (one half of the duo, Kol B'Seder). It is always nice to give credit to the composer who owns the copyright.
Judy Caplan Ginsburgh I agree with you, this is also my favorite version, once I dreamt that I was listening to it, ever since it has been playing over in my head
Hello, thanks for your kind words! yes absolutely I can get you a copy of this song to download. Are you looking for just the music (like an mp3 file) or a video file you can download to your computer? Let me know and I'll send it to you.
why are they afraid to mention Israel? actual translation: Grant abundant peace over Israel, Your people, forever. For You are the sovereign source of all peace. So may it be good in Your eyes to bless Your people Israel in every season and in every hour with Your peace. Blessed are You, Adonai, Who blesses His people Israel with peace.
I think the reason is because the message is a prayer for peace *everywhere and forever* That is what the “l’olam” means. “Israel,” as used in the Torah, refers to either Jacob or his descendants, not the modern State of Israel, which is a divisive subject for some people, but it is also a distinction that non-Jews may not make because they have not studied Torah. In most of the Christian Bible (i.e, New Testament), Israel refers to the Kingdom of Israel (as a sovereign nation or under Greek and later Roman occupation), which may be confused by non-Jews as modern Israel when they are not the same thing at all. This misunderstanding would detract from the fact that the song is one praying for world wide peace. Thus, the people that translated the Hebrew into English made a minor reinterpretation to the lyrics to widen the audience for which the translation is intended.
